I have also turned off the zooming windows sound after I installed it, but
I haven't had it turn itself on.  But what has been happening to me is sometimes after a finder operation finishes, the desktop will clear itself <windows
disappear as well as the disk icons and trash can> then reappear instantly
again.  Only thing is after that happens, there aren't any more sounds.
Doing things that should cause a sound cause my hard disk like to blink
<like its loading the sound as it normally does> then my menu bar blinks.
Opening chooser shows my volume level where it should be, but still no
sound.  If I play something through sound edit, I'll get that, but when
quit that and return to the finder, there is still no sound.  Rebooting
cures it, until it happens again.
