    Hi All --

    I just followed many of the great threads about optimizing my laptop and I must admit that the old thing is screaming as much as a 4 or 5 year old laptop can (I have a T61p on order right now).

    Anywho, everything seems to running great, except the confirmation sounds that you get when you click on button (i.e. when emptying the recycle bin). The sound is normal, but at the end of the sound is a scratchy click. It's no big deal, but it was not making these types of sound before I optimized.

    Any idea what could be causing this and what I should do about it? I used the search function under "lenovo scratchy sound" and got 388 threads, but I could not find what I was looking for in them.

    Thanks,
    rb

    Have you tried reinstalling your sound card drivers

    Yes. I just tried that and there is no change. I compared the sound to my wife's thinkpad and there is a definite clicking sound at the end of the confirmation tone.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks,
