my computer is playing random shows on its own.

hello all,

this morning my computer started playing random music that led into a talk show about african tribes living in an impoverished wilderness for about 10 minutes. afterwords, there was some random music being played. then 20 minutes went by and some guy was talking about soccer. this has been happening off and on for about 2 hours now.

i checked my task manager, and nothing was running except firefox and my 3d software i use for work. i closed firefox, incase it was some hidden background advertiser, but it still kept going.

i did a spyware/adware/virus deep scan with malware bytes and nothing came up.

does anyone know what could possibly be going on?

Hello,

My initial thought is a media playing program might have been stuck running as a background process with its user interface part turned off or otherwise disabled.

Does the problem occur if you start the computer in Safe Mode or if you login as a different user?

Regards,

Have you looked at your software firewall to see what you are connected to,
when these sounds are playing?

Is this only audio, or do you get video also?
