Title: Weird jungle noises is .wav files in c:\windows\temp
Post by: Dieselboy on June 08, 2017, 03:37:15 AM
Last weekend I had a Windows alert saying my C: drive was running out of space. Then while I was checking it, it ran out of space.
I found some very large .wav files in the c:\windows\temp directory with a weird name beginning sam_mic_dd_mm_yy.wav.
Initially there were two files, each of them around 26GB (hence my C drive being eaten up). I deleted them and rebooted then the issue was gone.

I noticed today that I have a crap load of "sam_mic...." files (114 of them now!) and total size is around 4.5GB for these.

I decided to listen to them, thinking that I've been hit by malware and this was recording of my microphone on my laptop.

... it's just 9 hours of jungle sounds.

I can hear like a tiger growling and some branches moving in the wind and stuff.

Done a quick google: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/windows-10-creating-wav-files-to-windowstemp/a4bdf342-b35e-4f56-b24f-8cd6250f84ca

Really... ?  :twitch:

Perhaps it was a recording from the Sri Lanka office then?  :mrgreen:

Read the title and immediately thought of Father Ted:



This means that your sound card is worse than Hitler!
