Hibernation Startup Sound

[Christian Wilkerson]

This has me stumped. Whenever I start up my XP machine at home from
hibernating, I hear what sounds like a shotgun blast. If you have the
speakers up loud at all, we're talking a scare you pretty bad kind of
scenario. I've looked at all of the Windows sound settings (unless there's
some hidden ones I don't know about), and there doesn't seem to be anything
that would cause this.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks

Could be the powerup on the sound card getting amplified. Perhaps Lower
the "physical" volume knob, and Increase the "XP volume slider" to shift
the amplification point.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
