    USB Device Chimes


    Hey Guys,

    I recently noticed that I no longer have the 'plugged-in' Chime and 'removal' Chime when using a USB device. I checked my sound settings, in the control panel, and everything appears to be set correctly.

    Is there any other settings or anything I need to do to ensure (or turn on) the chimes when plugging in USB devices?

    Thanks,
    Asif

    :)

    In Windows 10, device connect/disconnect sound plays over and over when monitor powers down (sleep)

    We downloaded the suggested: “USBDeview” software from Nirsoft and discovered the the USB device that is ringing the constant connect/disconnect sound is the 690LC device; which is the EVGA water-cooled CPU Cooler. Respectively we cannot turn that device
    off; and, it is working perfectly.

    So, how do we get Windows 10 Pro to ignore that USB device, not sound the USB connect/Disconnect chime every time the cooler gets a signal from the CPU; and, yet, still have the USB chime working properly whenever we connect other USB devices?

    Is there some setting that we can set in the Registry that will end this annoying problem?

    Insignia Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter not functioning on Windows 10

    Recently purchased a Bluetooth 4.0 usb adapter and cannot get it to function. The driver I downloaded for it will Auto-Run and fail at finding it. It chimes when plugged in and when I go to the Device Manager it can't update drivers.

    USB Device Chimes

    Are the "Device Connect" and "Device Disconnect" sounds assigned in the Sound Control Panel (Control Panel >> Sound >> Sounds >> Windows area)? If so, test the assigned sound in that location.

    So it appears to keep creating a "modified" sound scheme, with the device connect / device disconnect sounds disabled. Maybe because I'm plugging things in and out frequently to test?

    Your testing should not be causing the modified scheme. When I plug in a USB device, I make sure it's in for a period of time and Windows has the ability to recognize it, initialize it, and load necessary drivers, etc. before I unplug it.

    I would also perform a full reboot (not shutdown and then restart).

    what is a 'full reboot' consist of then, if not shutdown and restart?

    A shutdown and startup with fastart enabled (the default) does not reload Windows. Only a restart does.
