Dont understand the sound bloo bloob bloo, what is that for?

While I use my mac air it makes weird sound like "bloo bloob bloo" randomly, I cant find any reason and its not in system sounds

The only way to figure this out is by a process of elimination.
Log out and log back in. Don't launch any applications. If you get the sound, it's probably caused by one of your login items. Eliminate them until you find the culprit. Less likely, it might be an alert sound caused by a LaunchAgent or some system-level process, but I doubt that.
If you don't get the sound right after logging in, it's caused by one of the applications you launch yourself.

Trying to understand the sound system

Here's my problem. My mic didn't work (neither the front mic nor the line-in in the rear), so after some research and trial and error I found that if I do
modprobe soundcore
my mic works on both the jacks
But here's where my confusion lies. This is the output of lsmod |grep snd before probing explicitly for soundcore
[inxs ~ ]$ lsmod |grep snd
snd_hda_codec_analog 78696 1
snd_hda_intel 22122 1
snd_hda_codec 77927 2 snd_hda_codec_analog,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep 6325 1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm_oss 38818 0
snd_pcm 73856 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 19416 1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc 7121 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
snd_mixer_oss 15275 2 snd_pcm_oss
snd 57786 8 snd_hda_codec_analog,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss
soundcore 6146 2 snd
[inxs ~ ]$
So as you can see, soundcore's already loaded, so why do I have to explicitly load it again to get the mic to work?
Once I add soundcore to my MODULES array and reboot, the lsmod output is also the same as above.
So my question is -- what does the explicit loading of soundcore do, that is not done by auto-loading of that module?

Oh... since your topic is Trying to understand the sound system, that puts you (and me) inside the whole world's population... chuckle. But I thought I'd pass along a document written by probably "The" main ALSA developer that I totally stumbled across just 3 days ago.
Go here:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/docs/
and download the flavor of your choice of the "HD-Audio" document, or simply view it online. It documents the deepest dive into the current ALSA snd_hda_* layers and issues that I've found to date (but still leaves me wanting).
Why that document isn't plastered across the interwebs is beyond me. I only get 11 hits when I search for it... such are the secrets of the ALSA world I guess.

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset them. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

When I connect my guitar to garageband all the sound are cut. What canI do?

Command I will open the master window on the right. Make sure under "I"nfo lower right corner next to monitor, make sure it is not turned off. If you are playing an elctric guitar, don't bother with the no feedback setting.
Make sure the volume in system prefs is up and not muted. (system prefs.sound.output)

Hey Guys, I have a IMAC G5 and I just uploaded Ilife 08 to it, the problem is, when I create a DVD it sounds good until I burn it. About 1/4 of the way through it the sound stops.. What's going on with it? Is it the encoding proocess?? I'm stumped...

Hi
A. iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choice if one aim to do a DVD as they all discard the quality of the picture by discarding every second line in it. NO way around this due to that it happens between Event's and Project's so as soon as it is being edited - Quality is lost.
B. I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut
C. if iM'08 to 11 is a must - THEN DO NOT - Share to iDVD - BUT - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (or ev. Medium)
THEN DO - Save as a DiskImage and see that this plays OK and ALL SOUND
D. if added audio from iTunes - then instead in iTunes - Collect all needed Audio into a NEW PlayList then BURN this as an Audio-CD (.aiff - NOT .mp3 or other) - Then use the Files on this CD in Your Movie Project's (I do)
E. I only use .aiff audio - 48kHz 16-bit (miniDV tape Camera) or 44.1kHz Audio CD - NEVER .mp3 or .wma or other file format - ALL is converted first into .aiff - ALWAYS ! - I have very few problem with Audio in my projects in iMovie or FinalCut !

Thanks Shootist007, by blockd files I mean files that I have changed to blocked and when I tried to move then for the first time, I had to unblock again. I am trying to backup my pictures, my songs and other files like word documents and excel tables. First I put all of them as blocked, what caused the first problems on trying to move them. Then, I've unchecked the block option and if I try to move one by one, there is no problem. The issue is to move all together, because it gets stuck in the preparing to copy files step. Anyway, if I cannot do all by once, I'll do it one by one, event though that was not suposed to happen if we are talking about technology, right? Anyway, I thank you again for trying to help me!

I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."

Dont understand the sound bloo bloob bloo, what is that for?
