Exclamation sound randomly sounds on my computer.

I had posted this  in this forum before, but when I came back to check any answers, I saw where the thread was missing. Perhaps this is the wrong forum to post it in but I don't know where it was moved. So I'll try once again.
I purchased this laptop about 3 weeks ago. L775D-S7108.
For some strange reason every so often the Exclamation sound plays and I have no idea why. Any suggestions to get it to stop? There is no pop-up with a message or reason why this sound is playing.
Thanks.
P.S. Another issue I had with the computer and not sure if they are related, but I had to uninstall Explorer. I like to use Firefox so I had installed Firefox on my computer. Every time I would open Firefox, Explorer would randomly open and I'd have to close out of it. I got tired of having to keep closing out of Exlorer and it popping open again that I uninstalled Explorer.
Are these issues normal for a new computer? I'm wondering if I should return it.

I guess this is your first post.
See this thread for lots of interesting information, but no resolution. Perhaps it will give you some ideas.

  • Updated to iTunes 11.0.3, now no sound on my computer, all apps

    Hi--
    I updated to iTunes 11.0.3, and now there is no sound on my computer. I unplugged the external speakers--no sound from the iMac built-in speakers. No sound for iTunes, GarageBand, QuickTime, or Firefox.
    Is anyone else having this problem? And is there an easy way to restore the previous version from Time Machine? When I tried, I got an error message saying iTunes was needed by Mac OS X.
    iMac running 10.7.5.

    Oh, fer crying out loud... I got sound back when I restarted the computer--rookie mistake. But why should I have to restart to get sound? I'm going back to my usual practice of waiting a month or two to install updates to iTunes.

  • HT2178 I do not have sound on my computer.  It was fine last night but when my husband turned it on this morning, there was now sound.  Also My iPhoto shuts down when I try to run a slide show.  I have just had my computer for 2 1/2 weeks.

    I had sound on my computer last night but when turning on this morning there was no sound.  It is not muted.  Any suggestions.  Also, when I try to run an event in IPhoto as a slide show, it shuts down.

    Just to clarify, does iPhoto unexpectedly quit or does your computer shut down? For the sound problem, try here:

    I downloaded the latest itunes update on my HP desktop with Windows Vista and it will not play my music and has disabled the sound on my computer?

    Good Morning jsacc38,
    The resource below will help you with the issues you are having with the iTunes for Windows update on your PC:

    http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201668
    Learn what to do if you can’t install or update iTunes on your Windows PC.
    If you can’t install iTunes on your Windows PC, or if you see “error 7” or “error 2” after you install the software, follow the steps below in order.
    If you see a different error when trying to launch iTunes, follow the steps in iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    Make sure that you're logged in to your computer as an administrator.
    If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You can also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3). 
    If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
    If you have Windows XP: Choose Open.
    If you've previously installed iTunes, the installer will prompt you to repair the software.
    After the repair is complete, restart your computer and try launching iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows XP.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.
    Songs you bought from the iTunes Store or imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default. Deleting iTunes won’t delete your music.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some background processes can cause issues that prevent applications like iTunes from installing.
    If you installed security software and are having issues installing iTunes for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve the issues.
    Restart your computer.
    After the restart, and adjusting the software running on your PC, install iTunes again.

    If the steps in this article don't help you resolve the issue, you might be able to find a solution through a search of the Microsoft support website.

  • The sound on my computer freezes/sk​ips

    The sound on my computer freezes/skips when I watch/listen to anything. I have an HP Pavilion g7 Notebook with 4g and AMD Athlon II P360 Dual-Core Processor.  The bios is F.04 - from 3/29/11.  Any help would be greatly appreciate.
    HP Techs were not knowledgeable whatsoever.  They had my put the computer back to factory settings (didn't work), check the bios (didn't work), check the hard-drive (both short and long test) (didn't work).  I hesitate to call them again because all 3 of them have been unhelpful throughout the process. 
    I've read that people have had this problem consistently with HP, even getting new HP's from the company and they still have the same problem.
    Thanks!

    @paulfulks
    Try the following steps in sequence.
    Perform a hard reset on the notebook. In order to do that, disconnect ac adapter,battery and any adittional devices or peripherals connected to the notebook. Press and hold down power button for 5-10secs.
    Power on the notebook and Uninstall Audio drivers of your notebook from Control Panel and restart the computer. After the restart is done, install the updated sound drivers by downloading it from here

    I'm sorry.
    If you were looking for help, I assume you would have told us about your sound card, how your system is configured, whether you are using a desktop/window manager, which one, the articles in the wiki you have researched, and what you have tried.
    Edit: I'm apparently in a bad mood.  I'm going to go outside and do some yard work. It is a beautiful 75 degree F day here in So Cal

  • I remove by mistake the realtek audio device high definition audio bus. Now, the sound of my computer is not working. What should I do?

    Hi! 
    I remove by mistake the realtek audio device high definition audio bus. Now, the sound of my computer is not working. What should I do?

    first go to start-all programs- windows update is at the top of the list follow the prmpts to install microsoft update which is the new version of windows update if microsoft update is all ready installed go there and select custom then let it look for updates
    then if it detects missing drivers it will install or guide you on what to do. If you have an r52 laptop then try this link.
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_CA/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-58599 the best of luck.
    2 if that doesnt work then try this  open device manager right click on the sound device you may have to expand sound, video and game controlers on the tab that comes up select properties then select the drivers tab  select update driver.   
    do it this way incase the driver installation failed the frist time it may not ask you to update again if you didnt uncheck the box that came up on frist try.
    3.find a mother board disk and search the disk using explore for ac97 realtech driver. actually windows update should solve it also try there  FIX IT web site there are many automatied fixes there for your use.

  • My audio disappeard when Im working in a project but the sound in my computer works. How can that be?

    My audio in Logic Pro disappeard when Im working in a project but the sound in my computer works. How can that be?

    Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices>Coreaudio
    That can be because Logic can have its' audio hardware configured, different from System Preferences>Sound, which is the config all other apps use. You've probably assigned Logic to some inactive audio port.
