hello everyone.I just installed fritz 12 and sometimes when playing or analyzing starts an annoying sound like "tik tak". Like the sound of a clock.Even if i stop the game it still goes on. I can't find something in the help menu. Do you know how can i stop it?

Hi,
I had the same problem a while ago with Shredder 7.
To solve my problem, I went to \Program Files\ChessBase\Sounds\Board. You should see a tick.wav file. Just rename it (tick1.wav, for exemple), and the tik tak will not be heard when you spend some time on a position.

There is no need to rename files (unless you just want to).

Application Menu (round green button in the upper left corner) – Options – Multimedia tab

Clearing the check next to 'Board Sounds' will stop the ticking sound along with the clacking sound when you move pieces.

Hey guys, after seeing this post I also saw this on youtube which explains it very well too. You can also set a different sound for the start of a new game. You must watch this video and it will cure you of fritz insanity!
