Question Posted Wednesday February 23 2005, 2:06 pm

I have music playing out of my PC and I have NO IDEA where it's coming from!! I'm not sure when it started because I left the PC while it was starting up. There's nothing on the toolbar, desktop or when I press ctrl alt + delete that suggests music - there's nothing that isn't normally there. It's almost like a radio station. I've checked my CD drive, media player and there are no pop ups or anything this music could be coming from. Does anyone have any idea what it is or how I could stop it?
Thanks loads!!

If you have AIM, MSN, or YAHOO it could be comming from the messenger box

***Restart your computer. If you can still hear it, it is not your PC.

Hey, someone could have music on their site or on AIM so just turn off you volume =) If that doesn't work then restart your computer.

turn your computer off and on again..somtimes that happened with mine too...the program that was on perviously was still intact but it had been shut down..turing it on and off again should get rid of it..if not consult a computer specialist

If you are logged on to AIM, if you look up to the top of the buddy list, right underneath My AIM People and Help there's a little box. Alot of times it's advertisements that play music. If it's not that, then your computer is probably intercepting radio waves which is causing you to hear music. My computer intercepts phone calls so I can hear random people's phone calls. If you go to the little speaker icon at the bottom right hand corner of your screen, double click it and then there will be 5little settings for sound. The first will be Volume Control, then Wave, then SW Synth, then CD Player, and then Line in. If you click the mute box for either Line in or Wave, it should stop. I'm not 100% sure which one it is but you can try it out. Hope this helped.

Your speakers may be the reason of why this is happening. My computer some times does that to me and I just unplug my speakers and then put them back in and then I restart my computer. Try doing that and see if it works. Like what others have said, your speakers can pick up waves sometimes and then your computer plays music.

Speakers can pick up radio stations on their own somehow, try unplugging them and see what happens.

Try restarting your computer. Also, if you have Dail-Up, check to see that the chord is plugged in. Sometimes you can get radio waves into your computer. Sounds weird, but it has/can happened.
