beep tone when highlighting search title.

[N181RV]

There is probably a solution in the manual for this problem, but I haven't found it yet.

Problem: In the middle of a show Last night, I made a song "search" for a particular song title. A half dozen showed up in the list in the "search" window. I hit left mouse button to highlight one of the titles and I got a beep.

Every time I click it to highlight a title and even after the title is already highlighted, I get the beep. It was not doing this previously.

It doesn't happen when left clicking any thing else on the computer or in the Hoster program.

It actually is loud enough to be heard, but of as short duration.

Anyone had this before. Any ideas?

Thanks, Phil in Illinois

Go to Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices and open it. Click on Sounds Tab. In dropdown window choose No Sounds click OK. That will turn off all the little annoying sounds Windows makes when you do things on the computer. This will not affect any output through your sound card.

ADMIN NOTE: Good advice for the expected "normal" solution, but it didn't work. This beep is a Vista BUG! Read on...

I already had sounds disabled, but went there and double checked it and "No Sounds" is selected.

All computer sounds are shut off except this one little beep.

Don't know if Hoster got a glitch in it or if Vista got a glitch, but one of them is doing something they shouldn't be doing.

ADMIN NOTE: This beep turns out tobe a Vista BUG! Read on...

All other sounds are shut down.

I just get a single short duration beep when I hit left mouse button when I high lite a title listing on the search window. If I double click it, it only beeps the first click and then it adds it to the play list on the main Hoster window.

I am thinking I may need to reload the hoster program. Since I am new to all this hard drive song stuff, I don't know what that will require or what it will do to my existing database. luckily, I backed up the database on an exterrnal harddrive so things can't be too bad for old Phil.

Saturday night, I had a Hoster shutdown in the middle of a song. The program came back up ok and the playlist was ok like they say it will be, but later when I did a search for a song that a singer wanted, the songs pulled up but I got a beep when I high lited her brand of cdg. It has been doing it every since. I will try all suggestions and keep playing with it until i figure it out.

Tnx for your advice and still open to any more advice.

Phil, Hoster does not have anything to do with the sounds, so no need to reload. Check your mouse settings in the control panel. Maybe something in there controls sounds for it.

Are you refering to a customer import as those unfortunately don't come back after a crash and have to be re-imported. If it was one of your loaded songs then you may have a corrupt file for that song.

ADMIN NOTE: That's incorrect. If you have imported songs into your Playlist from discs your Singer's bring in, they WILL remain in the playlist and on the hard drive after a crash and restart of Hoster. All will be fine, in the same order, ready to play. That's part of MTU's Failsafe design to keep your show running even after a crash. NOTE: Once an imported song plays it's imported image is deleted, AND... when Hoster closes normally, all imported CDG tracks are deleted to keep you legal, yet allow you to play tracks from your Singer's discs.

If you do reload Hoster it will not erase your database or the song files.

Ok Dale, Tnx alot.
I will keep fiddling and I will let you know what I find...

Dale is right. The beep is something Vista is creating. We haven't found a work around other than don't use Vista.

The black cloud still hangs over me.
I have been fighting this for quite awhile and I still have the beep when "selecting" in the search option of Hoster.

I went into the registry and worked my way down to "ccselect".
Under ccselect, I have three listings .current .modified and .none....

I don't see anything about delete "key klick yes'.

Can someone tell me where it hides?

Thanks,

Phil

I think it's
"...With CCSelect selected, press the Delete Key" ...and then after pressing the Delete key..." Click Yes when it asks you if you are sure. "

ok, "I see, said the blind man" I just missed the language a bit. I have been also fighting some hum on the audio.
I got it fixed.
I have a small HP notebook that I carry out to shows. When it is on battery power, it has clean audio, when I plug in the A/C adapter, it gets dirty. Not real bad, but a little more hum than is on the battery.
I switched to an IBM A/C adapter and bingo it is clean. The charge voltage is very slightly less when measured with a Fluke, but it is charging nicely and the sosund is super clean.
I think HP tried to cheapen things too much. The HP pack is half the size of the IBM pack and it runs way too hot in my oppinion. I will see what happens after a few days. Usually the voltage "in" is higher when it hits the regulator and is dropped down quite a bit. so I think I am fixed.
