Windows 10: Computer produces USB insert sound every time for no reason

Good morning/Good evening ! My computer keeps on producing USB insert sound without any reason every time I try to use it and it annoys me a lot. If somebody has any fix for it please suggest it to me, i will appreciate it a lot. I've tried disabling notification sounds but it's not working. Help me please!

Computer freezing/rebooting when inserting USB devices

That sounds more like an electrical problem. The lockup occurs regardless of which USB port you insert the thumb drive into?

 

insert/eject USB and many notification sounds

Good point! The only problem would be finding the items hidden from default under other categories like Network adapters and hard disks where usb flash drives and a drive in a usb enclosure will then show in the list of drives. Under Network adapters you would then see multiple instances of one type of network item with the (2) and (3) following the first as one example as well as any virtual network items.

Under keyboards and mice however the list of items will likely remain unchanged being the problem since the mouse is already in plain view as the Logitech gaming mouse item. I suspect a printer or combo printer/scanner/fax or other usb item besides or including the software if any for the keyboard could be the source.

A total wipe of the drive and still not seeing a solution was rather a drastic step while a good screening of things like the keyboard software which in turns will put on startup device drivers along cross checking any other usb device almost omitting the mouse from the equation however as plugging and unplugging mice rarely trips the connect and disconnect wav files while other devices especially printers, printer/scanner/copier/fax combinations. flash drives, memory card readers, etc. including usb hubs can and will trip the device connect/disconnect alerts.

One suggestion is to simply unsound those two items in the Sounds portion of the Windows sound mixer. That can done easily by right clicking on the Volume icon in the hidden or shown portion of the System notification area or System tray on the main task bar and select the Playback devices option. Once the screen with tabs appears for Playback, Recording, Sounds which you want, and Communications you simply click to open the Sounds tab and scroll to the Device connect and Device disconnect items and at the left bring the dropdown list of choices for which sound to be applied for each and scroll directly to the top to select and apply the "none" option. Clicking the apply button then puts the no sound into effect while the new sound scheme can also be saved as the new default sound plan. Here I simply label that Default and regardless of how many times 10 has been upgraded to updated builds to now seeing the Redstone 1 update remain that won't change. This is how to disable those two sounds.

 

No sound when I insert USB. Windows 10

I agree with Thomaseg but would like to add these points -

1 If your speaker icon does not help you get to the Sounds tab then you can get to it this way
Start menu,
Windows system,
Control panel,
{in the upper right area} View by - Large/Small icons {just so you can see everything directly},
Sound,
Sounds tab.

2 Scroll down the Program events list to the entries Device connect & Device disconnect.

- These are your USB connect & disconnect sounds.
- While one or the other is selected in the list you can click on the Test button to hear what is set for that event.
- If nothing is set or you just don't like what is set then you can select a different sound from the Sounds: dropdown list [that, in my example, has the default value Windows hardware insert.wav for the Device connect sound].
- The default entry for Device disconnect is Windows hardware Remove.wav but you can change that one aswell if you want.
- If these default entries do not make a noise when you press the Test button then there is a fault.
- - Post back to report that.
- - Confirm that you can hear other things on your computer.
- - And, in File explorer, go to C:\Windows\Media to see which .wav files it contains. It is generally never altered [although it can be]. My unadulterated folder contains 84 .wav files.
