Twice so far I have been in the middle of a ladder match and out of nowhere my mouse becomes completely unresponsive (it appears to move very slowly but when watching the VOD of one of my streams it wasn't moving at all). When this happens, I start to hear beeping out of my speakers or headset that kinda sounds like Morse Code beeps as I try to move my mouse. This has only been happening recently, has only happened when playing SC2, and has incidentally has only happened while I'm streaming (I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it as the last time I forced xsplit to close and it didn't seem to help. All other sounds and keyboard strokes are perfectly fine. I can pause the game and use ingame chat and alt tab no problem.

Anyone know what's going on?

this used to happen to me at the start of games when there's lag and you spam during the freeze. when the lag stops it beeps a bunch. don't know what could be causing it in the middle of a match though. also hi fatmuh.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

I've had similar problem at the beginning of a game, just like mahnini described. That sound is probably coming from your PC speaker, though. My comp is terrible and this usually happens when it's laggy and I'm in a team game. Haven't found a solution. Buying a new comp would probably solve my problem. Meh.

This exact thing has happened to me twice recently, and I don't know what's going on. I just got a brand new PC so I don't think it's any hardware failure.

I tried unplugging and replugging in the mouse but that didn't help.

Then I unplugged and replugged both mouse and keyboard, and it actually fixed it! Except then about 20 seconds later my comp blue screened and crashed.

If I remember correctly the beeping is occurring because the system is being overloaded with input and cannot accept any more. Why it happens idk...

TLO gets this frequently, ive seen it happen to him i think 4 times and i dont follow him that closely.

Its on the Xsplit issues list, but is still unfixed as of version 1.0 sadly

Medium

4575 - When streaming, CPU starts beeping and mouse freaks out.

Note: We think it must be a driver issue, but we still can’t pinpoint or reproduce the issue in our lab

It has happened me twice in the last few days, i dont know what to do...

My mouse is razer abyssus. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back on but it didnt work, when i tried to plug in another mouse it didnt work either, i killed both xsplit processes and the mouse driver and it still continued to beep and i could not move the mouse...

Well I have as good a reason to bump this as any.

I have just got the same issue using a razor imperator mouse, and razor blackwidow ultimate keyboard. This happened to me while streaming sc2 using xsplit.

First the mouse became unresponsive and i then got the morse code beeps everytime i clicked. I paused the game and unplugged the mouse and plugged it back in which totally froze everthing including my keyboard.

Only fix was to hard reset the computer.... anyone know of continuing issues with this or if xsplit has a fix?

I'm having the same problem, beeping mouse and I don't know what to do about it!

EDIT: Using Logitech mini keyboard and Logitech G 400 mouse. Happend 3 times during a streaming period och 3 hours when it started happening, eventually I noticed it was happening more frequently.

Bump Does anyone have a fix to this yet? Phantoml0rd had this exact problem, but of course, nowhere did he place a fix.


Could it just be a hardware problem with the actual mouse itself and nothing to do with the computer? I really like my zowie mico

you will need to be a little more specific about your issue, as in when it is happening for you, is the sound coming from your speakers, or from the computer itself. Do you stream, do you use xsplit? or is this happening while not streaming.

This happens on my deathadder off an on... seems to happen more often when I stream, but only when playing starcraft.

The only cure is to restart the computer. I've searched the internet a few times. Haven't really found anything useful.

I found out it actually has to do with the windowed fullscreen mode, and some other app doing some popuppy shit right when you are spam clicking.

When I went back to normal fullscreen the problem dissapeared for me. I guess the people with xsplit have the problem because you kinda need to stream in windowed fullscreen in order to make the "black flickering" go away.

Hope this helps someone.
