Annoying Windows Sounds

[Mel_P]

All the time windows (10) seems to give me sound alerts - but from where. They seem to have no meaning? Nothing changes except dee-dee-dah-dum sounds!

How do I turn this annoyance off please?

That sounds like a driver or device is disconnecting and then reconnecting. Possibly a USB device is sleeping and waking or a bit dodgy.

You could have cracked it there! My ASUS monitor has a USB hub and I was using this connected to my PC to run my graphics tablet and a Logitech mouse/keyboard "dongle". Disconnecting this hub has stopped these "extraneous / annoying" sounds!

Good thinking batman! Thanks, Mel

You can keep using it if you want, you just have to go into device manager settings and disable the hub's option to go to sleep.

Try turning the option about power mangament in the USB hub I thought was relevant and no effect. There are are 9 other "USB root hub" entries under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" - how do I choose the right one!

By unplugging with Device Manager open, the offending device is called a "USB Composite Device" - and has no tab about sleep or power management! So stuck.

Ahem - probably yes - the Logitec dongle! It's easier just to turn the "System" volume down rather than waste both of out times! Thanks, Mel
