Hello!

After updating to graphic driver 19.12.2 I get this weird 3 beeping sounds when I start any game. I tried to find the options to disable it but I cannot find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

3 beeps usually indicate a system memory problem.

3 beeps in the BIOS can indicated VGA or main memory errors

[thund3r]

Hello thanks for you replies.

I get those sounds from my speakers not from my bios. And it is only from starting games ( not all of them though). It is like it activates sth. It started only when I updated to 19.12.2.

Made a profile just to tell you the reason for the beeping is because you have Anti-Lag or Enhanced Sync enabled in Radeon Settings. Its the most annoying thing and it will only go away if you turn them off globally.

my panel has advanced freesync and it does not beep

[thedarkmaster]

You must first enable freesync in monitor settings and then enable it in the radeon settings.

It is not that, I have all of them off under the graphics, and it still does that. Even when I eliminate  the hotkeys, but keep the Toggle Radeon Anti Lag like suggested earlier.

I can confirm this, I have 3 beeps coming from my speakers when starting games. it happens at random though, not all the time.

Found this AMD Thread from December 19, 2019 that mentions both freezing and beeping sounds and how they were able to fix both: AMD Adrenalin 2020 Game "Freeze" and Beeping 

The fix for the beeping sound from one User in the thread:

[hardcoregames_]

UEFI is used more deeply than the old BIOS.

One of the reasons as it is a more sophisticated interface to the hardware.

The beeps through the speakers are a bit more bizarre as I have not seen that previously.

The cause might be a graphics reset when the display mode changes.

@ thund3r, I, too, am experiencing these beeps. They are not a motherboard/BIOS issue. These are beeps to indicate that your Radeon software is setup to record. I was troubled by this for hours after I updated my drivers when I noticed I could no longer record my games. I also had several other changes to my desktop that happened at once so it took me some time to narrow this down. Finally I disabled recording in Radeon and loaded up a game. I did not hear the beeping sound at the normal time I would hear it (within about 30 seconds upon full load of the game).  With the game running, I re-enabled recording, and immediately I heard the beeping. The beeps sound like initialization beeps to let you know the recording is ready. After scouring Radeon settings, it would seem they did not put anything in there to allow you to turn this feature off, as I find this very annoying.

If it were just the beeping i wouldn't mind as much, but the new update completely took away my ability to play ANY game on that machine… when i start a game i just hear the beeps and then the game freezes and crashes eventually. After that windows tells me the driver has failed and switched to a windows default:

, amd software says it can't find my video card or driver anymore :

Also this kills of my card in device manager it seems:

Only game that not does not die instantly is league of legends which runs with like 3 fps and seems to switch focus to some other application every second (probably the overlay) which prevents me from doing anything.

Also i tried disabling every feature (antilag, chill, enhanced sync) in global settings, which doesn't seem to do anything, since i still hear the beeps from anti-lag when my game crashes.

DO NOT INSTALL that driver until this mess has been fixed

Trying to rollback my system now...

i too have gotten the cruddy values and beeps from the new drivers. i down graded back to what i was running at and still have the beeps and the freezes. but according to Afterburner im back at 19.10.2

so im really getting erked at switching to amd graphics.

The three beeps when launching a game indicate that you have either Radeon Anti Lag or Radeon Chill enabled. 

[jsquare]

I have Anti Lag, Chill, and literally every single other option disabled under global, and I still get the 3 beeps every time I start a full screen application. I've even gone through to disable every thing I can in the streaming tab (which I sure wish was optional). The beeping has been driving me nuts since I updated the drivers.

This is on 19.12.3 W10 64-bit, operating a 5700 XT

[psychobill]

open Radeon Setting, "Gaming" tab find your game or even maybe a program got in there and remove it. 

doesnt matter if you think you shut the crap off or not cuz as long as its in that area its still on. drove me insane till some one pointed this out here or somewhere i dont remember. i was searching frantically to find a solution  

[rodinaz]

This > I had windows & a couple of other non game entries , deleted & all is well!

[use-code-chefe-on-fortnit]

to disable beeps go to hotkeys delete all hotkeys.       If you still experience that beep go to settings>general>and preferences and disable all advertnisments, system tray menu, toast noitification, upgrade advisor and show indicator

[msparks16]

I fixed this with removing the game from the list in my radeon settings.  BO2 was freezing on the menu and just removing it made it work perfectly. I hope this helps!

20.1.1: Radeon Chill’s audio beep notification when enabling/disabling the feature has been removed.
