This is a very strange problem! I am using HP dv6000 laptop with Ubuntu 12.04. Since last few days if I open certain websites in Chrome (e.g. Gmail, Youtube, etc.) the mute button led keeps blinking with "tick tick" sound.

I am using Chrome Version 20.0.1132.47

UPDATE:

I noticed if I disable the flash plugin in Chrome and then open those sites the problem does not appear.

UPDATE 2:

Also, if battery left is less than 80% AND it is not connected to power AND some certain websites are open the problem appears.

Any idea I could get rid of this annoying problem?

It blinks every time any sound is playing, so when you visit a website that plays sounds it blinks.. (obviously the flash sites are those with more sounds interactions).
It's not a problem but a simply function that will advert you when you are in "mute-mode" and a sound is playing in the background.

I hope it will help!
