I am back to SETI and in my speakers I have sound of Boinc crunching WU and I do not know where to turn that off. it really bothers me and I do not like it. Can anyone help?

Is it a slow or fast crunching sound?


slow, with sounds like beeps all the time. If you understand me :). it really bothers me because I am hearing it even when i am listening winamp or playing some game. when I pause Boinc then it is OK

The slow beeps are a processor overheat warning. CLEAN YOUR MACHINE! It's probably full of dust and junk. Check other things, also. Make sure your machine is getting enough air flow. Make sure the fans are running and not slowed down.

It isn't BOINC doing it, it is your own system. There might be threshold changes you can make in the BIOS to also stop this.

looooooool

No way it is my computer. no way, as i said (and you did not read that I think)- when I pause or stop BOINC there is no sounds. My comp temperature is 35 - system, and 36- procesor. i did not said it is beeps - I said it is something like beeps and it happens only when seti runing and it happens sometime few times in second, sometimes every few seconds. between these "beeps" is also some sound. and these "beeps" are 100% from SETI. btw. i am not as*hole to run computer with junk and dust or without air flow and etc. I know how to handle hardware :D.

It still could be warnings from your system. It could be a voltage issue. I had the same type warning several years ago whenever one of the voltages dropped below a certain number, 4.2 volts as I recall. Check your BIOS settings and see if there are any voltage warnings set up.

ok, lets say this once more- my system is stable, temperature, voltage and everything is OK. when I run SETI i have some sounds in my speakers, when i turn SETI off it is ok. and it is 100% not a problem in my computer. Did you try to turn on your speakers (volume 100%) and run seti? is it quiet? I do not think it is... try... I just tried on my friends computer, same thing as on mine

Seems to me that if this were a Seti problem that I'd see more reports of it. Did you just upgrade Boinc or change to an optimized app? If not then it is my opinion you have an issue on your host. Check speaker cable routing and Audio drivers. Something is causing it. When you run Seti your CPU is pushed to the max, much more than other normal programs. This creates heat and increased wattage consumption (approx 20% more). Since the beginning of Seti under Boinc, your report is the second time I've seen it.

You might try another project and see what happens. Or wait to see if others report the same thing

I was running Climate prediction in recent months. everything was OK.

Just try some of you people to turn ON your speakers and put them on 100% volume and if you hear something. Btw. I tried on headphones, and on speakers- same thing.

Strange. If there'd been more reports of this, maybe I'd have more to offer you in terms of a fix(I.E someone might have figured it out). sorry

PS. I hear nothing on two of my 3 puters with speakers (the other is currently playing bloombergtv and it's part of my work so I can't try that one). NOTE: none are currently doing a seti wu.

have you looked to see if this was the issue?

Were you really worried about changing from "El Nino" to "El Nutzo" LOL

Very interesting! Especially the link to a recording of the sound in that thread. Had a similar problem on my main system, couldn't figure out why the sound output was getting distorted. Checked in the volume control panel (not just the master volume control that appears in the taskbar) and found an unused input that had somehow got turned up to max. It was picking up garbage and mixing it with the audio channels. Turned it all the way down and problem was solved.
