Windows 10: Speaker makes 5 short clicks on boot up - What is causing this?

Hi
My ASUS Transformer T100HA (Win 10 Home - 64bit - Version 1909 - OS Build 18363.657) makes 5 short clicks from the speakers every time I boot up the device. It didn't always do this but started a few weeks ago. Strangely it does it even if the speakers are muted.

I was having a few other performance issues so yesterday made a fresh install of the operating system after deleting the partition during setup. All my other small glitches seem to have cleared up and I have more memory available because my installation from bootable USB did not carry so much of the ASUS installed bloatware...but the clicking is still happening.

Its not that disturbing but I want to be sure it is not an issue that might develop into something bigger. Can anyone suggest what might be causing it and how I can stop it from happening.

Many Thanks.
D.

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,
