Electronic Pop?!

[doubledee]

On my old, white 2008 MacBook over the last few weeks I have had a few times when all of a sudden I hear a quick "electronic POP" news...

It seems to usually happen when I fire up AU Lab, but it just happened now with AU Lab not running, and me not doing anything other than typing...

Do I have a short-circuit in my old MacBook?


M-a-y-b-e I should get around to using my *new* MBP I bought last March?!

Sincerely,


Debbie

Do you Microsoft Office installed? Some users have reported that this is Microsoft office notifications of mail or something along that way.

As soon as you here the pop STOP doing anything in you Mac. Then use Spotlight to search for the application 'Console' (is a logging application) and see what entry at that time is present (please don't post your log). See if the sound program is present.

Plus open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal ad type is the code:

sudo killAll Dock[/url]

Make sure you put in your Administrator password. This command will reset you dock because a Dock running program might be making that sound. 

You have to play detective.

It resets the Dock program that resets the running Dashboard program. The Dashboard program is part of the Dock program as it is a separate space now.
