Why my PC is sporadically that tone?

At irregular intervals, at least once a day, a tone out of my computer speakers. It is two notes of music, a tone, a follow-up to a high-pitched sound. Looks like it is played on a piano. It happened again just now and I jumped from my chair to see what activity could take place in the PC. Nothing. No new email arrived, and the only other software lit has WinAmp, iTunes and Firefox, Adobe Acrobat. iTunes came out as a possible culprit because I heard this tone several times when iTunes has been disabled.

I checked the event viewer, and it showed no recent event. In fact, he showed not all events for weeks, which is another problem, I asked here.

Any suggestions on the hunt for the source of that tone?

Hello

I suggest you try to perform the clean boot and check if it helps:

    Why export a video image that is limited to the 2K jpg file?

    Hi Marc,

    Relaxing, personalized - export you can export video in 4K jpg or even your video resolution video source.

    Since the export settings window, change the value of the 'width' to 3840 and export. The exported jpg would be 4 k.

    There is a promblem I don't know?

    Hello

    Sorry for the confusion and frustration.

    Because the Muse is an Air application, there are some limitations in the way that we interact with the Application Manager that can cause these types of States in conflict. We have plans that will address this, but unfortunately, it of a complicated situation and will take time.

    I'm working on a document that will address all the various installation questions such as this one and post it on the forum and elsewhere when its done. I apologize that this has not happened before and several people were affected than expected.

  • Why Firefox always tells me that Adobe plug-ins must be updated, when I've just updated beyond the versions them says Firefox update?

    On the status of the plug-in page, Firefox said I have potentially vulnerable Adobe Flash player c. 19.0.0.185 and should be updated. I have already taken this opinion but Adobe confirms that my version is 19.0.0.226. I ran the update at least twice (and of course I restarted Firefox several times and refreshed the page for good measure). Why Firefox think I always c. 19.0.0.185?

    Essentially the same story with Adobe Reader plug-in 15.9.20069.28170. Firefox said I have this outdated version and should be updated. I ran the update at least twice (but unlike with Flash Player I don't know how to confirm that the update is installed). The version that Firefox says I have and advice to update, has not changed.

    I've updated two plug-ins yesterday. Immediately after the update, when I refreshed the page status of the plugin, these plug-ins have disappeared from lists "vulnerable" or "outdated". It's only the Adobe Flash Player and Reader plug-in updates (which I did yesterday) that Firefox seems to blind. I waited a day to see if Firefox would recognize the edits today, but it still does not work. On this page of presentation of the question, "Assumptions" of Firefox on my current browser list older versions of Adobe Flash Player and Reader that I've already updated since.

    Plugins are installed on the system and not in Firefox. So he can tell you were the same when you installed know that it is usually because you have two system installed an older version of Flash Player.

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/uninstall-Flash-Player-Windows.html

    Maybe try to uninstall all versions of Flash Player (basic plugin) and install the current https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (basic plugin), while Firefox is closed.

  • Why Firefox always tell me that it blocks Java Deployment Toolkit after that I did the update?

    On the page Web 'Mozilla - check your Plugins', I was told that the 'Java Deployment Toolkit' was vulnerable. So I did the update. But then, I got the same problem still. Why? And should I care?

    Please see the attached screenshot.

    The most funny thing is... I visited two sites that use Java, being Java.com, but I haven't seen the black banner of the blocking message.

    The Java Deployment Toolkit can be the most recent version, but Oracle has not yet fixed the vulnerabilities with this plugin; so Mozilla still there on the red list and point require the user to use "Request enable" to deactivate it. A 'soft-block' - can be used if needed, but needs user by implementing action.

    More specifically, do you have a program on your PC that is really needed as Deployment Toolkit?
    Or is your concern that simply that it is disabled after update of Java?

    Very few applications consumer even uses this Deployment Toolkit, aimed at people who develop Java applications or applications such as the various Oracle programs in the workplace.

    Back to before Oracle acquired Sun Java systems in 2010, this Deployment Toolkit has not been installed with the runtime environment Java for users. Java developers needed to install a separate developers Toolbox for this Plugin - had the SDK program.
