SYMPTOMS

When you try to use Application Sharing or the Whiteboard features in Microsoft Office Communicator 2005, you may hear sounds from Microsoft NetMeeting when a person joins or leaves the meeting.

CAUSE

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, disable the sounds setting for NetMeeting. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Run, type Mmsys.cpl in the Open box, and then click OK.
  2. On the Sounds tab, click the NetMeeting event for which you want to disable the sound setting under Sound Events or Program events.

    Note The default file name that is played when someone enters or leaves a meeting in NetMeeting is the Blip.wav file.
