Okay don`t know if anyone can help me on this but you never know.

I have a new harddisc in my laptop because the old one was toast. Since then i got a very very annoying sound when i plug a headset in. I dunno how to describe it (tutututu), as if something in my computer is dailing a number or so ????

The problem is that i can`t really play games on my laptop without headset because everyone else gets troubled that way. And to be `in game`a headset is much better.

Soo where does this sounds come from? any suggestions?
i`m a total computer-noob so it could be something silly.

help me

Posting this was very inspiring: i found a temporary solution -> there is a volume switch on the `ears`, if i turn that to minimal and my volume on the laptop itself very high i get a decent sound. if it`s healthy for the comp i dunno.

but still: it might be handy if someone says: just put that off and the tietietie disappears

tietietie? I thought it was tututu. heh. Sorry man, no idea. Have you tried a different headset? Does it do it through regular speakers, or just the headset?

I don`t hear it through my regular speakers. So at first i thought it was the headset, but tried a different one and still the tuutuu or tietie whatever.
I managed to make it fade away as i mentioned but the thing is:i don`t know what`s causing it. It`s like something is trying to dail a number or so.

Ah well as long as it isn`t a timebomb i guess it can do no harm (i hope).

lol, could it be your internal modem re-dialling in pulse mode?

Ehm .. how am i supposed to know?? i was already thinking something like that but .. i`m terrible with computers.

so how do i check something like that?

do you use a normal modem? If you have DSL or cable or whatever, you could just disable your dialup modem altogether in the device manager. That'd pretty neatly remove that possibility.

If you actually use the dialup modem (and it's connect to a phone line..heh) you could just pick up the phone and see if there's something pulsing at you.

test

weird stuff: guess my cookies are bothering me as usual. after a lot of tries here`s my post:

Okay i got a dutch windows version so don`t know the english names but in my `phone and modem-options` or something someone has filled in some things like netnumber and such so it could be that this is trying to dial.

Just removing this seems ehm .. dangerous but i can`t seem to pick a `disable`option or something.

Now what?? remove folder?

You can try to zip that folder for example and try out whether a: the tutututu still occurs or b: your internet stops working. If any of these happen then unzip it again.

Note: I've never done this but it seems like a safe way of testing to me.

The thing is, it`s in my configuration and i only seem to be able to open it or make a short cut.

and i`m not sure if it`s this thing that`s causing the sound.
i just removed the `modem`option but the tutututu is still there. not much things i can do in this.

ah well

*edit* wanted to post this and message: not connected to internet appeared aaaaah `retry` okay now it works `fieuw` now i got scared.

heh.

So, do you use dialup at all? If not, just delete it. BTW, the area you're talking about is 'dial-up connections'. You can't zip the folder or do much of anything but delete the stuff. Or, you could delete all of dial-up networking.

Still didn't answer my question, bitch.

I`m not your bitch.

No i don`t use dial-up. i have telenet (jeeeej).
And i tried deleting it already. but as i mentioned i can only open it or create a shortcut.

AAARGH i`m getting sick of this win2000 and then the dutch version i can`t find a thing.

so i can`t delete it.

Bitch.

Oh yes you are...you just don't realize it yet, we've all gone tru that on here.


Btw Satis..Telenet=cable

ok, thanks Rinox.

Right-click on the connectoid, you should have a delete option. That's how to delete dial-up connections. bitch

Or, do completely remove all dialup capabilities on your computer, go to the control panel, go to add/remove programs, go to add/remove windows components, then find 'dial up networking' (aka DUN) and just remove it entirely. No more modem, EVER! Well, until you reinstall DUN. bitch

Man i can`t seem to find anything in win2000 dutch version.

I just waisted my time searching for the: add-remove programs, it seems to be named `software`here HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW !!!!

crap-windows

Ehm satis i`m unsure what you`re talking about, the phone thingie i found is in my control panel. and i can`t remove that. and i can`t seem to find anything similar to dial-up connections in my add/remove windows components.

Why oh why did they install a dutch version aaaaaaaah.

you know what: forget this topic forget it ever existed.
i`ll live

lol, sorry man. I know how freaky the foreign versions of windows can be. Bah, I give up. Unless you wanna install a trojan horse so I can operate your computer remotely. >:)
