My computer beeps when certain events happen. Why?

Asked by Perchik (4992points) July 12th, 2007

It's not a beep from the speakers, it's a beep from the actual computer. (sounds like the old DOS beeps)

This beep occurs when I change the volume (it is NOT the sound that shows you how loud the volume is) and when anything in the system tray pops up. (network notification, gmail notification..)

Why does this happen and what can I do about it?
