    Sudden USB failure led to high pitch sound loud enough that it could have damaged my hearing


    I was working in MS Teams audio and video call usingLogitech G635 LightSync. I have the latest USB drivers, windows version 10.0.18362 Build on an Asus Notebook PC model GL553V. It has an Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU.

    This was NOT any feedback loop. I recognize that kind of sound. I have been using this headset for about 6 months with no USB Driver or any other problem before I've been using Discord, Xbox and many other voice chats for several hours a week.



    This Sound came suddenly at exactly the same time as I got an USB error dialog, See Attachment.

    The dialog claimed the error was on a recently plugged device but no new device had been plugged in since many hours. The sound was on maximum level Even at highest volume I’ve never heard a sound this loud before regardless of the volume control. The sound didn't disappear until I unplugged the headset device.



    The headset sound was so loud that persons from other rooms the door was closed in my house heard it clearly, wondering what’s happening. Altough I removed the headset as fast as I could this was a very disturbing experience, without my quick reaction this would have been harmful to my ears. The headset worked normally after I re plugged them and restarted my computer.



    What kind of error can this be and how can I avoid it happening again?

    Shouldn’t there be protection against unsafe high audio volume?

    High pitched chirp sound on videos

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 and have 2 issues now:

    1- At the beginning of videos on my PC and online, there is a loud, very high-pitched chirp sound. Last time I fixed this, it was a setting in RealTek.

    2- RealTek audio driver is installed, but it does not show up in the list of drivers. I do a system check for updates or to see if it is working properly.

    I am worried about uninstalling RealTek completely, because I read other users did that and now they do not have any sound. Please help!

    I have a HP Notebook 64 bit

    Well, my hearing is fine! Sudden USB failure led to high pitch sound loud enough that it could have damaged my hearing ;) I honestly do not have any high pitch noise or anything. I gave the phone to 7 of my friends and they could not hear anything either. I do not know, perhaps you got unlucky. But you are one of the very few with a phone made in Finland
    that I am aware of having troubles...
