Windows 10: Constant quiet beep in headphone

This problem appeared when I installed W10 (I didn't have this issue with W7) so I know that it's not a hardware problem.

In the headphone I have this constant and quiet hi-frequency "beep" like a sonar. Changing the volume up or down in task bar doesn't affect the volume of the beep. Not even muting the volume will make the beep disappear.

There is this 'trick' I found in a 5 years old thread of another forum (laptop - constant high frequency beep when headphones are plugged into headphone jack? - Super User) where someone was complaining of the same issue and that makes the beep stop. If you change the volume in the task bar and plug the headphone in while the typical windows sound is playing the beep disappears. But the next time I reboot my PC it will be there.

Someone else has experienced this?

Very quiet beep, no other audio.


So, this problem actually started a few hours ago in Windows 7 after a reboot. The only sound coming out of my headphones or speakers is a very quiet non stop beep, and no other audio plays.

I tried to install Windows 10, but that didn't fix the issue. Still the same thing is happening. I tried installing and uninstalling the Realtek driver software, but the only thing that did was make some really weird noises I can't even begin to describe. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

 

constant beep

I have a constant beep sounding in my computer when I start it up and it continues constantly. How did I turn this on and how can I turn it off? It is driving me crazy. This has never happened before and I cannot figure out how this beep was turned
on. Please help me.

 

Headphones are very Quiet in one hear and fine in the other

Hi,

There's a possibility that some settings in your sound properties are not properly set. For possible solution, we suggest that you follow the suggested workaround provided by
Yashwanth Kotakuri on this thread.

We also suggest that you check the balance level of your headphone by following these steps:

• Right click the little speaker icon near the clock on the taskbar.
• Click Playback devices.
• Double-click the Headphones.
• Click the Levels tab.
• Then check the Balance of left and right.

We are eager on getting this resolved for you, we will wait for your feedback.
