This is an outrage! You guys have broken the cardinal rule of online marketing. DO NOT have ad that plays sound!! What is this a porn site?

Even though I've muted the ad from "Digital Sports Ventures" seen below, it continuously plays ads with sound, and it's extremely annoying. I keep BI open in a browser during my work day, and twice already i've had to shut my speakers down while on the phone w/ a client because the stupid ad blasted off without my consent. It keeps doing this.

Fix it now please, it's very unprofessional.

EDIT: omg this is out of control. Ads keep blasting sound. I won't be coming to this site at all if this continues.

Thank you for the tutorial, noble sir.

But i am angered over the principle. This is shady advertising and it needs to stop. Imagine muting your TV, but advertisers figured out a way to bypass that and blasted their ad at full volume!

The driver fix in this thread is more targeted.

cyrusthebear, those sounds are actually in your head. Haven't you ever heard of the Son of Sam? Is there a talking dog commanding you to do things?

they are ****ing me off too, comes up when I'm on a conference call. I think some-rethinking needs to be done on this advertising technique.

I think you're right. I have this voice in my head that tells me I will hook up with Mila Kunis. I want to listen to these voices, but i don't know. They say that if I hang around her house and wait in the bushes, she'll see me one day, and realize her true desires for me.

I think that'll work. Let us know how it goes.
