Device connect and disconnect sounds play when NOTHING is connected!

Hello

I am running Windows Vista x 32 on my Dell Inspiron 1525. The problem is that the device connect sound, immediately followed by the device disconnect sound, playing intermittently even when not a single device is connected. I have already extracted 1 million solutions online, and here's what we can exclude:

  • Still, she does when no devices are connected, so it is not a loose USB device.
  • Does it by chance; I can't predict when the sounds will play, and there is no evidence in the event viewer I can link to this problem.
  • My laptop does not have Bluetooth, so it's not just trying to pick up a network.
  • I've updated all the drivers I can think and who has been recommended by others. They are all to date. I have also each service pack installed.
  • It is a customized, sound scheme so that these sounds are ONLY related to the device plug or unplug, respectively. I even went through all the sounds in the profile just to make sure I didn't accidentally double up.

The only other thing relevant I can offer is that I actually just sitting there waiting for the sounds to play while looking at the Device Manager. I got all the closed lists, and when sound plays, the "network adapters" list opens. Yet once, I checked to make sure that all of these drivers are up to date, but it still plays. Please help, I'm going crazy! Thank you in advance!

BTW, even if I can put up a good show to know what I'm doing with a computer, I'm not that well versed in techno-parler, please dumb down your solutions. Thank you. :-)

Hello

That description makes it sound like the issue is a network adapter that is enabled - right click either the
Interface NETWORK (wired) or peripheral card WiFi and turn OFF - which ever you use and see if the noise persists?
I look in Device Manager is a good idea.

Is it a PC or a laptop - card integrated or add-on/in? If a PC off ALL power and remove and reinstall
all cards and cables on both ends (in fact, remove and replace - do not just tight). Not much, you can
do this with a laptop, unless WiFi is external but for PC or laptop, you can turn off the edge
WiFi (if she has that) and use an external device.

I hope this helps. Rob - bicycle - Mark Twain said it is good.

    Hello Jimmy10 66,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to follow your alerts, and I want to help you get your work again.

    Before we get too far, it's always a good idea to check that your 'secret' button just above your volume controls is not engaged. If you see that the yellow indicator go ahead and switch to the other position to turn it off.

    Alternatively, you can drag up from the bottom of the screen and make sure that the control of "do not disturb" is disabled.

    If those who are for the time off, go ahead and restart your phone and retest alerts. If the behaviour continues or if you encounter any problems, please reach out again and let the community know what other steps you have tried. The entire community is here to help.

  • Pavilion HPE h8xt: device disconnect sound parts despite nothing being disconnected

    Yesterday, all of a sudden my speakers have begun to read the sound device disconnect. I checked my device manager and nothing was wrong. Then I disconnected all my plugs in the back of my Tower and reconnected, but again, I could hear. I also did a scan of my hard drive looking for errors and found a little, but always I hear the device disconnect sound. At the beginning it was associated with my move my mouse cursor, but lately, hear the noise, even if I do nothing.

    I am really confused here.

    I (finally decided to switch my HP mouse wireless model and now no more unwanted sounds. My office is 3 years old and I think I've received my HP mouse to fall on the hard floor, perhaps 10,000 times. I guess the mouse had suffered significant brain damage as a result and become dysfunctional.

    Problem solved (I hope)

    Thanks to all who have tried to solve my problem.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Nwburbs2,

    Since you get sound while playing music from Internet Explorer and playing discs, you can check in Windows media player if the sound is muted.

    If you use the Windows media player 11, then you can see the change of Libraryfor following sound settings in Windows Media Player.

    Hi noelc,

    This is related to the problem of association of files on the Windows platform. Other applications works very much like Photoshop.

    Please completely including current uninstall Lightroom and the old version of it.

    Restart the Machine (very Important)

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  • Why my laptop's sound plays without nothing open

    My pieces of portable random comercial type adds, and I don't know how to stop it

    Hello

    1. When the question began? You did changes to the computer before the show?
    2. You are connected to the internet? What browser to use?
    Step 1:
     
    Perform the clean boot and check for the issue if it can't clean boot, then try search them methodically and find the program that causes the problem mentioned in the article for the clean boot.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    How to solve the problem by running the clean boot in Windows Vista:

    Note: once you have completed troubleshooting, perform the steps in the step 7: to reset the computer as usual.

    Step 2:
    Run a full scan to a computer using the antivirus software installed on the computer or the Microsoft Safety Scanner to see if it makes a difference:

  • Random sound 'connect' followed by "disconnect" sound

    Random sound 'connect' followed by "disconnect" sound

    In the last days, I started hearing the "connect" and "disconnect" sounds very randomly and quite frequently when using my computer.   I started the Manager tasks to see if I could determine what was causing the sounds occur.  To the best of my knowledge, the EEM of sounds to occur every time 'mobsync, exe' (microsoft Sync Center) starts.  I never remember activate "mobsync" (but it is possible that one of my kids got on and did something) and I saw an internet post saying that she could not be disabled.

    How can I stop this?  It's quite annoying to listen all day since I work from my computer!

  • Sound lost when I installed a NVIDIA GEFORCE 8400GS card

    I installed a graphics card and lost sound. When I try to open the volume control I get a message that says: "There are no active mixer devices" the card supplied with the HD audio software and I installed it without thinking. I use not the HD audio. I want to just restore the mixer and audio original. Any help?

    Hello:

    If your graphics card is equipped with an HDMI output port, all you have to do is go into your BIOS and look for the audio setting on board.

    Will be set to Auto.  Change it to " Enabled". Save the setting at this point, and again when you exit the BIOS.

    Now your integrated audio system needs to be restored, and you can also audio HDMI when you connect an HDMI cable to your TV.

  • Problem with swf and the sound

    Hi all!
    I created a flash animation that includes a sound effect (mp3). The animation works well and the sound plays as expected. But at the end of the animation, the sound is played again. I check my swf file, but sometimes a preview flash. If anyone has experienced this?

    Thank you!!!
    Brad

    Not sure, but you could try adding a script framework at the end of your animation with this code:

    this.stopAllSounds ();

    This line should stop all sounds playing on this timeline, without affecting the Captivate. I can't guarantee that, but it's worth a try. Now, if your animation focuses on AS3, then the above will not work. After return to it is and I'll write the code for you, or do a search (it is not a single line/method).

    Computer is turned on. Everything starts as usual, then start audio data of a device connection / disconnection. The system is updated in every way.

    Found the problem. Loose connection.  Female monitor on video card got loose in its housing.
