When I am running in Windows 98 I will get a continuous tone in both Dos mode and the GUI mode.
The only way to get rid of the tone is to switch to or from a dos box. It doesn't matter if the box is in full screen mode or not.
I can run in Linux without hearing this tone but in Windows I'll get it at random times.

I would recommend going to the manufacturer's website and seeing if there is an updated driver.

Already had tried that. I'll assume you meant the sound card. It's an ISA Sound Blaster 16 btw

Check for I/O conflicts, something is fighting for the same resources as the sound card... (did you install a second printer port)
