Irritating device connect/disconnect sounds

I have a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop with the update to SP3 and XP Professional operating system. While listening to a music CD, I get intermittent device unplug his follow up immediately by the device connect sound. There is no indication of the offending device. What gives?

Hello

1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
2 do you find this sound only during playback of music CD?

Step 1: Search for the issue in the clean boot state.

From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
1. click on Startand then click run.
2. type msconfigand click OK.

The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

3. click on the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services and then click OK.
4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

Step 2: Also, look for error messages in the event viewer. If you find error messages after return the exact error message so that we can help you better.

  • Eternal HDD PX1266E - 1 25 retains the connection/disconnection

    I have an external HARD drive, type PX1266E - 1 25, that no longer seems to connect with my laptop.

    Until yesterday, everything worked fine, but then I started to hear the connect/disconnect sounds windows all the time (a first, later others and repeated all the 1-3 minutes approximately).

    They disappear when I remove the cable of the USB ports on my laptop HARD drive.

    If I look at computer Magement - Device Manager - Universal Serial Bus Controllers, I see that whenever I hear the sound connect, Device Manager refreshes and a new item "USB Mass Storage Device" appears between 4 'Intel (r) 82801 DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controllers"and 4 'root USB Hubs' already contained. When I hear the noise of the disconnection, the USB MSD disappears again.

    Following some comments I found on the web, I've uninstalled all the USB controllers and restarted, to clean, but that made no difference.
    If I right-click on the MSD line for the short period that it is visible and select uninstall, then reboot, my computer laptop actuall does not see the external hard drive (the balloons found new hardware USB 2.0 CD + HD and found new hardware USB Mass Storage Device appeared), but the drive is not really recognized (he normally stood like a G (: hard drive).
    Sometimes I get an error message as well after you have uninstalled the drive and when it is reviewed by the PC (a third balloon indicating that a problem occurred during hardware installation. Your new hardware might not work properly), but that only seems to happen if after uninstalling, I don't not yet restarted, but at the same time the HARD drive went through his routine to disconnect/connect again.

    Original title: connect/disconnect sounds in the background

    I had to replace/upgrade to update my wifi router after purchase/adding a 'Smart' to my network TV and now have a noise to connect/disconnect running in the background, on something, every few minutes.  It does not affect the operation of my computer, but it is very annoying. Cut the old router market and connect and disconnect before replacement, but did not any noise so I don't think it is related to that.  I can't find any evidence of the old router on the computer anyway.  I hope you can help me!

    Hi Danielle65,

    You can try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    You can also perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Note: Make sure that you put the computer to a Normal startup once you are finished.

    Method 2:

    You can also check in Event Viewer about what is causing the problem. Alternatively, you can publish the results, so that we can help you solve the problem.

  • 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.

  • When I open/close the cover I hear the sound of connected/disconnected from the device. How can I turn this off?

    Since I let my son use my laptop for a test, when I opened the lid I hear the sound "Device connected" and the sound "Device disconnected" when I close. He has no idea how it happened, and I can't find how to make it stop... Very minor, of course, but anyone know how to disable this option?

    Thank you!

    Hi David,

    1. How can you be sure sound like "Device connected" or "Disconnected" sound?
    2. What is the number of brand and model of your laptop?
    3 are. what device you referring?

    I suggest that you perform the System Restore point that your laptop was working as intended.

  • No Notification sound when the connection/disconnection of USB device

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 on a separate partition on a 2011 MacBook Pro (installed via Boot Camp).

    This laptop has two USB ports on the left side.

    If I connect/disconnect a USB device to the port more back, I get the notification sound as usual.

    However, if I log out these same devices to the port further there is no notification even if the devices are recognized & seem to work fine.

    Can anyone tell how to enable notification of this port please?

    John,

    Thank you for your response.

    The sound scheme has already been set to "Windows default", but just for good measure, I changed it but it made no difference.

    As mentioned be notified when you use one of the ports USB, but not the other.

    I posted this in an Apple forum & other users of this machine & installation are reporting the issue even if it seems to be a generic hardware problem & not just something on my own system.

    See you soon.

  • 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!

  • Windows 8 times the device disconnect sound...

    Windows 8 times the device disconnect sound, my screen goes black, then both the windows the device plug his and my monitor turns on again. All my windows open and then re sizes to the top left of the screen. This happens randomly as I work with the computer. I have a Dell Vostro 270 connected via a VGA cable to a Samsung S22B300. I checked the event logs and Device Manager. Everything seems good. Please help if you know what this may be.

    Typically, this means two things: either the cable is loose, or the video driver broke down.  Usually if it's the driver, you would see that in the event where newspapers and maybe even a notification bubble near the clock when you see your desktop yet (something like "your display driver recovered").

    Do you see something like that?

    In addition, when the problem started to occur?

  • 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.

  • Students cannot "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices.

    I will start with this context (and apologies for the wall o ' text): I'm a newbie.  I took the course VMware local community college offers [VMware ESXI Server Enterprise (CIS197)], but I've not yet certified. And I don't have a real experience, except what I have taught myself so far.

    I recently accepted a position of learning associated with the College (think: glorified lab tech). I was tasked to work with stuff from VMware in the laboratory (among other things such as Cisco and Juniper equipment). There is no pass-down information like the previous left the position four months ago.

    We have a single host running ESXi 348481 4.1.0. "We have vCenter Server (5.5.0, 1312298), running on Windows Server (2008 R2, Enterprise Edition).  Access host and vCenter through two different IP, addresses using the vSphere client (either 5.5 or 4.1, using a single application - depends to know if I connect to the host or vCenter).

    At that time, the host is using local storage only (we have plans to change this, but it will take time).  The host is not a production on its own server, because it does not have a school systems.  He does, however, run a number of virtual machines in the lab, students use (Linux, Microsoft, Web design, etc.).  So, right now, I can't take it down.

    I was tasked to create a number of virtual machines that students can use to make the basic labs of Microsoft Windows 7.  So far, I have:
    -Created users, one per student, on the host.
    -Creating VMs, deploy one per student, I have a gold model vcenter.
    -Creation of roles to limit the access of students to just their VM attributed, which they access via client vSphere.
    -Created a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller that is also a DHCP server.
    -Created a virtual network, which is accessible only by the Windows 7 virtual machines and is not visible outside the vSphere environment (if I said this right - he does not see the Internet or school network).

    So far, it's all good.

    However, I need to be able to allow students the ability to edit the ISO file on which their VM points in order to complete some laboratories. I guess they would use the button "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices" on the taskbar (or console window). It does not work.
    I searched a lot and found that others have had the same problem.  However, all of the solutions I've tried so far have failed.  When they click 'Connect to ISO image on the data... store. "they get an error message means nothing to me,"an internal error has occurred in the vSphere Client. Details: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object. Contact VMware support if necessary.
    The role that I use for students has these settings:
    -Data store > Browse the data store
    -Virtual Machine > Configuration > change the settings of the device
    -Virtual Machine > Configuration > settings
    -A bouquet under the virtual machine > Configuration >
    -Configure CD media
    -Console interaction
    -Connection of the device
    -On
    -Power off
    -(and more, which I don't believe are important to the question)
    -State > create the snapshot
    -State > go back to the snapshot

    I tried "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add existing disk", "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add new disk" and "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add or remove an instrument" with no luck.

    Either by the way, the root account can do all these things, but no other account can - not even a game as an administrator account.

    I've seen mention I have apply the role in the data store.  It is perhaps part of the problem. I can't see the data store when I am connected to the host (wellll, I can, if I click on the host name, then on the Summary tab - but roles do not apply at this stage).  I see is 'Inventory' (which has virtual machines and Pools of resources), 'Rôles' and 'log files '.

    I can see the data store when logged in vCenter. Roles of students, however, are defined on the host computer. If I clone the role of users in vCenter and change this role cloned to have "permissions" that those who are on the host computer and then apply it to the data store, it still does not work.

    So, after all this (which I hope I've included all the necessary information), what can I do to allow the students to change ISO to which they are connected?

    Of course, if I left something, or if someone has a question, please ask.  I want to get this resolved as soon as I can.

    It turns out that I finally found the solution to the problem.

    What 'fixed', it is sufficient to vSphere Web Client to vCenter, which then allowed us to use Single Sign-On (SSO).  This, in turn, allowed us to define users and roles in vCenter (rather than having set them up directly on the host computer) which have then been applied to the VMS of students and also to the data store.

    Now, they can (de-) connect their ISOs at will.

    I find it interesting that vSphere Client (application) shows the users (and the things that they have access to), but it won't let you set of users.

    [Moved the Forum of the SOUL of the After Effects - MOD forum]

    Hmmm.  It's very strange.  For the experience, I tried to disconnect a sound card, while the SOUL is coding.  I get the message dialog box, but the encoding continues without stopping.  Eventually, this may be specific to certain sound cards.  What is your sound card that you have on your computer?

    For a workaround, could you try checking the "do not show again" checkbox in the message dialog box next time you see it?  Then, click no you should not see this message again and I hope that this problem would disappear.

  • Why iTunes opens after an iOS device is disconnected?

    I recently deselected the option to open iTunes when my iOS devices connect to my MacBook and indeed, iTunes doesn't open when either becomes connected. That option seems missing from the iTunes latest version update, but I digress.

    The problem I'm facing is happening when I unplug the MacBook is iOS device: iTunes opens immediately after the unit disconnects independently to know if the device was manually ejected via iTunes before you leave.

    A few details about my products:

    MacBook (13-inch, aluminum, late 2008) | 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo | 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 | NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB | 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA HDD

    Mac OS X 10.11.5

    iTunes 12.4.0.119

    iPhone 6 more, 128 GB

    iPad 16 GB Wi - Fi + cell Air

    iOS 9.3.2

    The answer to my question was, "iScrobbler cause iTunes to reopen once your iOS device disconnects". All I had to do was leave iScrobbler to my problem to solve.

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • Garmin Forerunner 210 maintains the connect/disconnect when it is plugged into the HP Pavilion dv6-3040sd

    I have a problem connecting my Garmin Forerunner 210 (GF210) of my HP Pavilion dv6-3040sd. I know that the problem is with the laptop, because I have tried several other laptops and it works well. When I connect the device, windows installs the drivers. So far so good. When the drivers are installed, the laptop recognizes the GF210 and it connects. A window opens to let me choose what I want to do, but before I can decide the device is disconnected and reconnected. He goes on and how.

    On computers laptops onther the GF210 appears in the 'Computer' section as an external hard drive.

    My laptop is running on Windows 7 64 bit and all windows updates are installed.

    Does anyone know an answer to this problem?

    Hi HarmR,

    In fact I have some stuff in my bag!

    Because your system is unable to recognize the Garmin unit long enough to change the drive letter, I have recommended to perform a backup and restore of your operating system. This can be done by following this document on the backup of files (Windows 7), and more to perform a recovery of the system HP (Windows 7). This should restore your system to the factory settings.
