guslWhy does my laptop insist on making a "tada" sound on start-up from "Hybernate", turning off my "mute" button if that's what it takes? Just now, I had to mute it twice, to no avail! I miss having an analog volume dial.
UPDATE: if I "Stand By"(a.k.a. "Sleep" or "Suspend") instead of "Hybernate", it is possible to mute it right after I turn it on, just in time before the "tada". Also, "Stand By" starts up faster!
UPDATE: Also, I'd like to be able to trace which program / Firefox window/tab is making certain sounds. e.g. by seeing a list of programs making calls to the sound APIs + sound drivers.
