Ping and sproing sounds come from my MBP and my MP

lately i seem to be getting a periodic sproing and a ping (i think it is the glass sound).
the sproing seems to come from both my macbookpro and my macpro and the ping comes from my macpro. is there a way to track these down beyond going through each individual piece of software? i'm using postbox and deja vu and i am assuming postbox is one of the culprits even though i see no action on the taskbar.
thanks for any help.

I should check the preferences for each of those applications and see if there's a checkbox for using system sounds.
Also check System Preferences>Sound>sound Effects and see if the option for playing user interface sounds has become enabled. Also check what alert sound is selected; could be one of them is telling you that an action can't be done.

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

See the following thread on the same topic:

When I connect my iPhone 3GS to my PC, a bizarre sound comes from the speakers of the PC.

This is a strange problem. When I connect my iPhone 3GS to my PC, a bizarre sound comes from the speakers of the PC. The sound is constant and low but irritating.
Please can anyone help?

This didn't cross my mind. Becuase no other device is causing the problem. Still, I am going to contact them. Thanks though.

No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

2 ZS Platinum with Logitech 5300e- No sound comes from rear speake

I just bought a new 2 ZS Platinum sound card and I use fairly new Logitech 5300e 5. speakers but no matter what I am playing, no sound comes from the rear speakers. However everythingh sounds fine in the front left, center and front right. As most posts on this board would suggest....yes, all speakers are securely connected and the switch on the back of the subwoofer is set to 5.. Windows control panel is set to 5., and so is everything else that asks. Im pretty sure I installed it correctly because the card shows up and I can hear good sound but only from the front. I read somewhere that I still needed a codec called ac3 so I downloaded it but there is still no sound. I updated the card with the latest driver which looks like was released in 2005. Is there ANY way to get real 5. sound? Do I need to purchase something else, a new codec? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Does the speaker test work in 5. channel mode? If it doesn't then it would like the X-Fi's lost the centre channel.
In that case you can try unplugging your speakers, changing into 2.0 mode plugging them back in and then changing to 5. channel mode and just fiddling about. 'tis a common problem with the X-Fi on a fresh install to lose or merge channels. There's no fix for it but to fiddle with the speaker/THX console settings and to plug and unplug stuff until the X-Fi decides to route stuff properly.

[iPad Mini no Retina, iOS 7.0.4] Sound in only one side of earphone (no mic), but sound come from both sides when using FaceTime

Recently, I found with iPad Mini w/o Retina, iOS 7.0.4, the sound comes only from left side of my earphone when listening music, watching YouTube videos, even playing system sound. But the sound come from both sides when using FaceTime.
Earphone is not broken. Plug completely into the audio jack. This problem only shows up recently, worked fine weeks ago.
Anyone has the same problem? Or has some solution on this issue?

Sound comming from two of of 5 speak

my computer uses Creative SB X-FI(or at least i think.) I dont really understand aduio that much, safe to call me a noob. I use my reci'ver as the man and use a 24 ft. cord that connects to the reci'ver and goes into an audio adapter. Basically turns the two red and white things into a one thing that goes in head phone jacks. Well in the back there are many different color things for the speakers, and then below that there are only 4,(plated in gold.) When i use creative software to detect speakers it says my rear right is my front right, and my front left is my front right, and then nothing else has sound comming from it. My computer is month old, and its probally not the computer. My speakers are 3 front sony dreamstyles and in the back i have some small logitech speakers. My reci'ver is a Sonydream syle. Every thing else works such as t.v. and video games. Please fix this its anoying to hear out of 2 speakers while listening to music =(

There're some thing which aren't clear.
To get 5. speaker sound from yer speakers, you'll need 3 cables which convert the stereo mini-plugs into 2xphono jacks. The first one is for the front left and right, the second for the rear left and right and the third is for the centre channel and subwoofer.
These are colour coded ( there should've been a sticker with yer soundcard so that the gold plated connectors can be identified ).
The plug closest to the big rectangular connector with the pin holes is for the centre/sub connection, the one next to it is the rear left/right and the one next to that is the front left and right. On the subwoofer output ( I think ) the left output is for the centre channel and the right output is for the subwoofer.
Taking one cable at a time, plug it into a jack on the soundcard and then plug the two phono plugs ( the other end of the cable ) into the corresponding inputs on the receiver.

Satellite A200 - crackling sound comes from the HDD

Hi
I have Satellite A200. When I start my notebook the crackling sound comes from the hard disc.
Does anyone know something about this?
Thanks
Vikas

In my opinion its nothing wrong with your HDD.
My HDD clicks everytime while accessing any data on the notebook and everything run ok since 3 years.
But this doesnt mean that there is no hardware problem with your HDD. Generally its not easy to say when an HDD wound starts to malfunction. My first HDD died after 6 years of usage. But the other HDD died after 1.5 years. This damage was covered by warranty.
Finally I would recommend backup your data always on an external HDD to prevent the data from damage.
Bye

XP 64 bit - 5.1 - Rear Sound comes from front Speak

Hi,
i have upgraded from xp 32 bit to XP 64. I have a problem with my elite pro:
This card ist playing now the 5. rear sound on the both front boxes. I'm extremly frustrated because i'm trying to solve this problem since 5 Hours. I have tried a lot of drivers - the rear sound comes from the front.
Anybody any idea ?

"You know, you could just walk behind your computer and switch the cables front and rear cables... "?Brilliant, that would make all sound come out the rears. Why didn't I think of that??I've cleaned and reinstalled, tried drivers without updates, updates without drivers, the best i can do id enable CMSS 3D and get a kind of *******ised stereo that i cam fade front to rear. I cannot get 5. separation with XFi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro under XP64 and 4gB RAM, and it REALLY pisses me off that I accidenetally helped the OP and I'm stuck with the same issue LOL.

Hey mims1212,
Thanks for the question. You can configure what address you start new conversations from on both devices:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Please note that this will only work for new conversations, and will also be affected if another iMessage user starts a conversation with you (ex. if a friend sent you a message to your phone number, you will still receive that on your Mac, and you will be replying from your phone number).
Thanks,
Matt M.

First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first night.

The speed may have been ok at that time and is too inconsistent/too slow overall. interference may have proven to be more of an issue since as well. If using public DNS that will provide Intermittant results
I'm sure using a hotspot would be fine but it depends on your viewing habits. An HD movie is around 4-5GB. It would also be subject to speed. requirements so best to test to see how it compares.
You would have to check with your Carrier if hotspot it's enabled then just to into your settings and toggle it ON

As you have tried 'all the suggestions' it is time to take your Mac back to the Apple Store.
