    Hi

    I'm a new owner of a Sony Vaio S and after a clean install im experiencing after each reboot or boot a strange sound during the windows 7 boot screen (the moment where you are not under windows 7 yet but there is the loading screen you know?)

    Anyway, it does a "blurp" kind of sound. I'm wondering it is since i've installed every driver and i've experienced no sounds issue when im playing a movie. It does it even if i had mute my speakers previously...

    any ideas?

    *Bleep sounds usually indicate that something's wrong with the hardware, sometimes CMOS battery or RAM or even GPU. But seeing as your able to do tasks without having any issues I can't really say why it's making a sound. And I'm not sure if *blurp is the same as *bleep. lol I say if it ain't broke (meaning it's running A-OK with no hangs or anything whatsoever) then you don't have to fix it.

    Hope this helps. :)

    na aits not a "bip" like when the computer is just booting telling the user their might be a problem, its a "blurp" when windows 7 is loading up with the icon screen you see ? It looks like a problem with the speaks but i dont know ;<

    Does the sound ever happen when watching movies or listening to music? Prolly a problem with the speaker if your lappy doesn't act up. Have to tried uninstalling and reinstalling sound drivers?

    Then you can rule out any driver issues..Have you ever reinstalled your OS? Cause if the problem still persists even after reinstalling windows, then it's most definitely a hardware problem, with the speakers or the board malfunctioning somehow.
