Windows 10: Computer is playing beeping through audio devices

So, every few days or so just out of random the computer will begin playing beeping noises, not from startup however from either the speakers or the headphones. Oddly enough these consist of different kinds of chimes, some occurring during the night close to 5 am, sometimes it is a straight tone. Malware cleaners say my computer is fine as well as the hardware checking out as perfectly fine. Trying to check these inside of the speakers reports nothing as the computer is reporting nothing is playing during the time.


Headphones are 3.5 MM jacks that plug into the computer.


The chimes sounded somewhat like musical chimes and went on for around an hour this only happened once.


The beeps have happened close to four times, though are more test audio pings rather than actual beeps.


Any ideas?

Computer not letting audio play on other devices

Exactly, I think it was just after Windows 10 Falls Creators Updates
Thank you for the information you've provided.

In this case, we suggest installing the most updated audio driver since you've installed the latest Windows major update. To do so, please follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X, click Device Manager.
  
• Under Device Manager, expand Sound, video and game controllers.
  
• Right-click on the audio device installed, then click Properties.
  
• Click the Driver tab, click Uninstall.
  
• Restart your computer.
  

Note: Windows will automatically install the updated driver for the device after restarting your computer.

We would appreciate an update about how it went.

 

Problem with audio devices

Hi Marcello,

I appreciate you for trying some steps in order to get the issue resolved.

If you're connecting to an audio device using USB or HDMI, you might need to set that device as the default.

Open Start, enter Sound, select it from the list of results, and then, on the
Playback tab, select a device, then Set Default.

I would also suggest you to turn off Audio enhancements.

• 
  Go to Start, enter Sound, and select Sound Control Panel
  from the list of results.
  
• 
  On the Playback tab, right-click (or tap and hold) the
  Default Device and select Properties.
  
• 
  On the Enhancements tab, select the Disable all enhancements
  check box and try to play your audio device.
  
• 
  If that doesn't work, select Cancel and, on the Playback
  tab, select another default device (if you have one), select the Disable all enhancements check box, and try to play audio again. Do this for each default device.
  

Please revert if you face any issues with Audio.

Thank you.
