Damn you Pacman!!

Aaah, this is insane!

So, I got a problem, very annoying problem. Since today is 30th year anniversary of Pacman, Google made a very interesting header, check it out: http://www.google.com/
I played it once and then I went on YouTube, but... I noticed that Pacman sounds are still playing. Okay, I thought it was just lagg or something with my connection, it happens. But, it's still playing... and playing... okay, what the duck? I closed my browser (Firefox) and it was still playing, I waited for like a minute, still playing... something like this never happened before. I decided to restart my computer to see if that will help. No, half a minute after my desktop shows, it's starts to play the sound (and my browser wasn't on this time nor I clicked to open it). Then I tried to Turn Off my computer and come back after some time. When I turned the computer on again, same situation, Pacman sound still playing and I didn't open my browser. I checked if firefox.exe was still running using Task Mannager (ctrl+alt+delete), but no, Firefox was not on.

Do you know what might cause this and how am I able to stop it? I hope this will remove by itself tomorrow because Google probably won't be having the same header.

Google is not only good for playing pacman. Try searching too.

Oh... I was supposed to know that this a common problem, that more people have crappy computer and connection like me, that more people have problems with Google pacman and that there is a sollution for that? Okay.

Well, I tried disabling all the addons and it's still playing. I also tried to remove SOUNDMAN.exe using Task Mannager and then restart, but it's still playing... oh maan... *sigh*

Thank you all for being so much helpful! Good news is that the problem got fixed by itself the next day, I don't know how or why, but it's good that the sound is gone now.
