..but now everytime I join a server cs/cz my dvd draw starts an open draw,close draw read sequence.This continues throughout time on server,as soon as I disconnect it stops. <_< This has the effect of makeing me play with lagg spikes(although it doesnt show any),and my headphones have strange noises comeing through them. :eyebrow: It was ok today when I joined server with TL,Doris and company(even though the promptly left,must get different aftershave,hope santa brings me some ).Have I missed something obvious :blush:

I can obsolutely positively guarantee that it is not a sound file from HL/HL2 or anything that Valve infected our PCs with.  For example, one of the pieces I get to listen to is a midi file version of the 'Kyrie' from the sung Latin mass 'Missa L'Hora Passa' by Ludovico da Viadana.  I know it is this because (i) I know it was my sister who recorded and sent me the midi file and (ii) I know the piece as I have been trying to learn the bass line as the choir I sing in will be singing it at Church this Christmas Eve at Midnight Mass.  Valve would definitely *not* supply that!

This random music playing has occured to me once before and it seemed to cure itself after a few weeks.  It did not return until a few days ago.

Anyone any other ideas as to what might be causing it?

I know this happens to Red, its scary but could be quite useful  :lmfao:

Just noticed after TL mentioned mp3 file playing(assumeing its on your HD TL)that hd activity is way above normal,this will be causeing the lagg effect I assume.

That happened to me once. I ended up playing a whole map's worth of Billie Holiday, wondering what the hell was going on. ^^

Which I think, we can safely assume, proves that this is yet another aspect of steam that Valve have borked and not yet fixed.  :angry:

Removeing ide from DVD player has alleviated problem,now atleast can play cs/cz till  I find a resolution.

This has been happening to me since the days of Doom.
Never got to fix, just removed music CD.

[TeaLeaf]

I do not have a music CD in the drive at all.  It has the CustomPC Benchmarking Utilities CD in there at the moment so the CD is not the source of any music.

I tried to find the post, but I just read that they disabled the CD check for those that bought the media.  Wonder if it inadvertantly broke something else?  I believe this was in the past two weeks that the change was made.

Ok,removeing audio cable from dvd has cured problem.I now have dvd and writer back and play cs/cz without lagg spikes and constant strange noise in my headphones. :unsure: Sure I read somewhere there is an issue with audigy sound cards. <_<
