well, try enabling it, then see if it still occurs, if it does, disable it again.

worth a try.

you must have an ASUS board, they did that to a lot of models about 2 years ago, damn annoying that is, you could always take a hammer to it.

You can just detach the PC speaker wires from the motherboard. Unless it's coming from the sound card...
