Ableton Forum

Everytime I open live, start or stop, enable recording, I get loud piano music,, like some just pounding the keyboard. Can't figure it out.. Has to stop while I can still hear!
I am using the 6.010 version of Live,
on a Gateway laptop with the stock soundcard,
recording through a M-audio Blackbox.

Try these tips:

Disable System Sounds

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds Tab > Sound Scheme to None.

Do Not Map Through Soundcard

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Hardware Tab > (your soundcard) > Properties > Audio Devices > (your soundcard) > Properties > Check the "Do not map through this device" checkbox.

thanks,
I muted the "SW Synth" in the Volume control and that got rid of it.
