    Hello guys, I have a problem here.

    My PC starts playing music randomly and I don't know where it comes from. On Windows's volume mixer I see it as a "Name Not Available" program, but I don't know what it is. I have searched the Task Manager for clues but to no avail. The only things running are Skype, Catalyst Control Center, Afterburner, Hamachi, few Windows processes but that's it, nothing suspicious.

    On the volume mixer, the program that plays the music is shown as "Name Not Available" and it is muted most of the time but I can see it plays something, although when I try to up the volume it plays for, like, half a second and then it mutes itself again. It gets unmuted automatically every so in a while.

    I also ran a virus scan with ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5 and it didn't find anything ...

    I would be really grateful for any ideas and opinions about solving this problem.

    ~Emilios
