Preferences: Sound & Media, then uncheck allow media to autoplay.

There have been a few times where I've been interrupted by (short) random commercials while I've had media off (I never have it on by default).

Those times, the commercial audio actually plays through SLVoice.exe (Firestorm), and it's the weirdest thing. It's always a woman's voice but the audio is so low I don't actually know what the commercial is about. The audio quality is too good and the manner of speaking is too official to be just a random person, and I always rush to check if any avatars are on the sim.
