so im running ableton connected to my bcd3000 , launchpad and nanokontrol
and the laptop has started randomly beeping
have been googling this and it seems its somethig to do with the bios
anybody any experience with this?
does it only beep when you turn it on ? or does it beep like randomly…
does the beeping cause other problems when windows is up?
there is like a 100 things it could be, depending on the computer.
no its doing it whilst running ableton
i reckon it must be overloaded or sumthin cos im using it to look at the net at the min with ableotn switched off and it hasnt beeped for a while
was beeping a lot with live running
ill have a look at audio drivers and see
the cpu guage in live isnt hitting anywhere near the max tho
and i have used it with the same controllers for a long time
lol you don’t have the metronome on do you?

In the words of Homer Simpson “D’OH”
hahahahaha. :hehe::P:D:w00t: glad I could be of service.
its not the metronome! and i never thought it was
Thats an SA Classic
looking online it seems to be a ram issue
so i took out the 2 ram cards and put them back in
and blew all the dust out as well
(these are all suggestions i found)
but its still doing it
ill try a new live set and see does thsat help
My limited experience with it mate is that the beeps are codes.
If you look online they give you the meaning of the sequence of the beeps.
Might give you a pointer if the beeps werent to do with the RAM
usually tho. if its a RAM issue and your getting beeps because of it… the machine wont start.
i’ve had that happen before when a stick goes bad.
It also could be a power supply thing. not sure tho!
good luck man!
so i tried a new live set and it didnt at first but then it did start beeping
i looked at codes and thats what pointed me to ram
still doing it tho
i tried taking out parts of the live set to see if it stopped but it always starts again
i have traktor running now with 4 decks and fx etc all going at once and it doesnt seem to be beeping
just seems to happen with ableton…?
uninstall / reinstal?
try unplugging your gear. just have ableton running and nothing plugged in.
see if it happens then.
beep are normally becuase of some kind of hardware issue and normally happen during system start up.
I’m not sure why they are happening post boot however I would find out what kind of motherboard you have and get the manual. This should tell you what the beeps mean.
In addition I would also search microsofts web pages to see if they is any reason why windows would be doing this, ie maybe windows beep in the same way the motherboard does if there is a hardware issue.
I wouldnt do a reinstall yet as it might be a waste of time, try and find the issue first.
yeah i tried it with the power unplugged but still happened
ill have a look at the mother board
with the power unplugged? that wont make any differents m8
