Windows 10: One of my disks started making the weird sound

I had a terrible disk which i knew it was dying. I did nothing to it for a year and now when i tried to make it online again it started making this weird noise and nothing else. No sign of life except a sound.https://streamable.com/d2j2dii was gonna take my after effects projects and renders out of that disk but i cant.

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

Weird issue with sounds

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand it can be quite annoying when you have to change audio settings frequently. The volume of the audio might reduce automatically, if Loudness Equalization is enabled in audio enhancements.

1. Is the issue specific to YouTube application?
2. Since when are you facing this issue?

I suggest you to follow the methods mentioned below and check if that helps:

Method 1:
Disable the Loudness Equalization from audio enhancements settings.

1. Right-click on the volume icon on the taskbar.
2. Select Sounds option from the list.
3. Click on the Playback tab.
4. Now right-click on the Speakers and select
   Properties from the list.
5. Click on the Enhancements tab.
6. Uncheck Loudness Equalization option.

Also, change the option under communication tab from sound settings. Follow steps mentioned below:

1. Right-click on the volume icon on the taskbar.
2. Select ‘Sounds’ option from the list.
3. Now click on the ‘Communications’ tab.
4. Select ‘Do nothing’ options from the list.

Method 2: If you still face the issue, we can try running the
Audio Troubleshooter. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Tap on ‘Windows + I’ on the keyboard.
2. Click on ‘Update & Security’ option.
3. Select ‘Troubleshoot’ option.
4. Now click on the ‘Playing Audio’ from the list and ‘Run the troubleshooter’.

Hope it helps.
