    Yes you are right, it is the "M Pro" version  ;)

    I downloaded your links and installed the audio driver. The beep continued. I then installed the chipset and checked that the AC97 audio was disabled in the Bios - beep still continued. I havent installed the video graphics card yet.

    The model is MT-M 6220-24G, so the drivers should be the right ones. I went to the Accessories - Volume and it still said there is no mixer components installed (same with audio recorder).

    I then went to "Sounds and audio" and re-activated several windows sounds, so that the speaker-symbol now reappears - still no improvement.

    Also the Hardware-assistant only found me an unknown component which I think I had before. I tried to re-install a driver for it but windows couldnt allocate anything. The is no information whatsoever on it accept in the details it mentions ACPI\ASF0001\2&DABA3FF&0 - but this might not even have anything to do with the audio. So I deactivated the device.

    I googled that and I came up with this link http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/System_Utilities/Drivers/Q_22616462.html
    "IBM Alert Standard Format".

    Alert !? Hmmm... sounds like it could do with the beeping noise.... I'll install the drivers under http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-43364 and let you know if this works.

      OK - I managed to install it and the unknown driver has disappeared. It did say something about "ASF table"-driver, do you know what that means?

      I now activated the AC97 sounds in the BIOS and.... finally.... the sounds in Windows were back! I deactivated the tone to have a quiet PC back again. Many thanks Kurtiskain ! Our employee will be so happy to return back to an unannoying PC on Monday  :D

        By the way, do you know what the ASF-table is good for, that was installed on the unknown IBM device?

        I actually do not know...I believe it has something in common with the old WAVE Tables for the old Creative cards...Never really understood what those did either...This is under Multimedia adaptors?
