Compaq Presario 5415WM WindowsXPsp1 SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio (driver:5.12.01.3620) IRQ17 Status:OK I hope this is enough info. The problem has persisted for a few months.

Thank you very much Mark G. You led me to the solution to the siren sound. I guess I need to go back to the idiot light method. A sound warning was too advanced. Thank You again. Jack
