I'm on cable. occasionally, i'll get an e-mail, or i'll open a web page or whatever, internet related sounds, and i'll get sounds from cable TV coming out of my computer speakers. The other day it went on for maybe 30 seconds until i switched web pages, i thought it was something related to the web page, but due to the page's contents and the nature of the TV program's audio, they couldn't of been related. the strangest thing is that my cable line for the computer is completely separate from the TV line. the cable company ran a separate line into my house for the computer. i don't even know if i can run a TV off of this line. they said it was a dedicated line for the computer.
anyone else ever have this happen? it's not troubling, just odd. really odd. and i can't make it happen, it just happens on it's own. very strange. just very strange.
any input? thanks.

and now i feel really dumb.....
turns out that sound wasn't coming through the cable line. i have a mpeg on the desktop, short clip i took of one of my dogs in REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement) with her paws and legs twitching. guess i'd accidentily slide the mouse over it and it'd start, but no media player would pop up, no image would pop up, just sound! and here i thought i had the loch ness monster living in my computer! (show on the loch ness monster was on TV when i shot the video clip). DOH!
