How the heck can you hear any sound if you have both the octa capture and your on board turned off??? What are you hearing the sound from??? 
What are your monitors plugged into? 


This is why I mentioned it could be nothing to do with your audio system and is a mechanical sound from your computers hardware. 

Dave,,, why on earth would running an anti virus scan solve this issue????

I read about a beep virus that makes your computer beep continuously. Check YouTube.

I have no clue how that's possible. But i can guarantee you that that's the case. The speakers still pick up this beep for some reason. Even if a try to play an mp3 or something. As soon as something wants to use the sound the speakers start beeping. I have no sound whatsoever now anymore. This is so bad...

I would try enabling your soundcard again in the bios, there's no need for that unless your back in the xp days.
open sonar and go to drivers, select MME instead of asio, this will eliminate the Roland as your issue.
watch a few you tube vids or even try media player to listen to some tunes, still there???
disable wireless card I think cactus said that, its a good idea.

does sound like a demo software giving you the beeps.

how often are the interval's of the beeping ?

My monitors are plugged into the sub which then sends it to my octa.

There is no interval of the beeping. It just starts when i open any sound related software.

I'm gonna reinstall Windows. As usual that is a quicker option than troubleshooting for hours. I'm so done with this crap. Every other week there is a new problem. And always they start out of nowhere...just like that.

A DAW on the internet? Bad Idea ... but thanks Dave for clearing that up, you usually have good tips but I thought this one was kinda weird. 

I still don't understand how you can hear it when you turn off your interface. That's the only thing you said so far that throws me off. 
The onboard soundcard is disabled in the bios! So that's disabled and the octa is turned off. Yet i still get the beep as soon as i load any software that uses sound.

So your saying this is a computer beep coming from the little CPU speaker??

I don't think reinstalling Windows is the answer.

No, not the cpu speaker. The monitors. Both of them. They pick up the noise with the sound cards turned off. As weird as it may sound i can guarantee you 100% that that is the case.
