I just had the strangest thing happen. I played DF for a few hours, closed it, and went on to do some other things. Then suddenly I noticed the music from it was still playing (I keep the volume turned down, so it was just a low tune of the guitar in the background). I looked to be sure, and sure enough the program was closed. I closed all my open programs and could still hear it. I restarted my computer and I could still hear it.

By now im thinking damn, I've played this game so much I have the song stuck in my head so that im actually hearing it when its not playing. But I leave the room and I can't hear it anymore - I come back and there it is, playing softly in the background. So I listen closely and realise it IS playing from my speakers. I cut the power from the speakers and it stops, then turn them back on and silence.

Is there some way for a sound file to get stuck in a loop in speakers even after the computer stops sending input? I've never had anything like that happen before.

.....that's weird.

The fact it keeps going upon a reboot is kind of weird. Only thing I can think of is a music player automatically found the music files in DF's folder, added them to it's library and decided to play them.

Find the files in the sound folder under data. Send them to the Recycling Bin, but don't delete them. See if it's still playing

I say take your speakers to a priest.

[Bromor Neckbeard]

Update your sound card drivers.  I had something similar happen to me before, and using the correct driver fixed it.

It's not doing it now, it stopped after I cut the power to the speakers. It was even playing while the computer was restarting, the speakers by themselves were playing it. It actually didn't play the normal windows sounds in favor of playing the DF sound loop. After unplugging and plugging them back in they stopped doing it and seem to be working fine now. It's like they somehow got the music file in a loop stuck in them and didn't play anything else - do speakers even have memory? It's just two speakers and a subwoofer base that they're connected to.

Armok is singing to you.

Thats Impossible, how could they use files if the computer is off?
Mabey the speakers are gaining a mind of their own...
Destroy them before they rebel and take over the world!

Wait wait wait,
There is a report that DF was trying to connect the internet, while it shouldn't. right?
So can this be the same like that? DF is gaining consciousness. Call your gods!

Either you're going completly mad or this is a sign that the Robot Revolution will involve dwarf-bots.

That's a problem I have when using ePSX. I think the process is still running in background. Right-click on your task bar, open task manager, go to the "processes" tab, look for dwarfort.exe, select it and "end process".

This did the trick for me (not with DF but still).

[umiman]

Dae - hehehe... new to the interwebs?

[Sukasa]

What kinds of speakers?  Might just be a driver bug if they were USB speakers, since then they would have kept the .ogg song in the speaker's memory, and not in the computer.

[Mulch Diggums]

I say take your speakers to a priest.

Cow beat me to it =[

...But I second this suggestion.

[Grath]

Alright, you'll need an old priest and a young priest... 
Possibly also a mop for when your speakers start vomiting green pea soup.
