Windows 10: Windows 10 intermittent sound issues.

I have just updated my daughters PC from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 however we are now having an intermittent sound problem in that the sound “glitches” every few seconds which is quite annoying after a file. I have tried updating all of the drivers but this doesnt seem to be fixing the problem. I have also just installed a RTX 2070 graphics card so not sure if this might be part of the problem? Initially the mouse was also lagging a little but weve changed this and it now doesnt seem to be a problem. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Intermittent Beeping Sound

Before I elaborate on the steps taken so far, allow me to notify you that I have done research on this issue via the internet. Armed with the suggested solutions, I then:

1) Clicked on the 'Start' button, followed by 'Settings'. Then on the 'Settings' window, I clicked on 'System' followed by a click on the 'Notifications & actions' On the right pane, I set the 'Get notifications from apps and other senders' switch to 'Off'.
No changes were made but it had no effect on the intermittent sounds.

2) I then added the 'Get tips, tricks and suggestions as you use Windows' and disabled it. Again this did not help at all.

3) I then enabled the switches for both items back to 'On'

4) Clicked on the 'Start' button, followed by 'Settings'. Then on the 'Settings' window, I clicked on 'Devices' followed by a click on the 'USB'. I then set the one and only switch to notify me if there are issues connecting to USB devices to 'Off'. Again this
did not helped as the intermittent sound still occurred. I therefore set it back to 'On'.

5) I clicked on the 'Control Panel' (since I enabled that icon for my desktop), followed a click on the 'Hardware and Sounds' item. On the next page that appeared, I clicked on the 'Change system sound' item. Then on the 'Sound' window, I selected the 'Sounds'
tab. A list of system sounds appeared under the 'Windows Default' and I moved the cursor to the 'Device Disconnect' item. I then set the sounds associated with that event to '(None)'. The 'Apply' button was pressed followed by the 'OK' button and closing of
the 'Control Panel' window. The intermittent sound did not occur anymore. However, since I set the sounds to (none), I WILL NOT be notified whenever a device is disconnected and this is what is causing a problem - I prefer to be notified.

Hopefully you would be able to suggest a better solution. BTW, this problem did not occur initially. Only when the Windows 10 updates were applied recently (about one or two months ago) did the problem surfaced. This was the reason why I suspected that the
updates was the culprit...but I could be wrong.

 

Intermittent sound issues on Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are getting intermittent sound issues on Windows 10. I will try to help you with this.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

• 
  Did you make any changes to the pc prior to this issue?
  
• 
  Have you installed all pending updates and also updated all device drivers on the pc?
  
• 
  In which user account are you facing this issue?
  
• 
  What is the make and model of the headphone?
  
• 
  Did you also set the headphone as default device to check if that helps?
  

Sign out from the current user account, restart the pc and login to the Admin account or the MSA to test if that helps with this issue.

Also ask op to install any pending Windows updates on the pc to check if that helps.
Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

Further, you may want to update the driver to check if that helps.

Open Start, enter Device Manager, and select it from the list of results. Under Sound, video, and game controllers, select your sound card, open it, select the Driver tab, and select Update Driver. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for
one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If those steps didn't work, try uninstalling your audio driver: open Device Manager, right-click (or tap and hold) the audio driver, and select Uninstall. Restart your device and Windows will attempt to reinstall the default driver automatically.

Sound cuts out intermittently


I've made the change suggested in this article. It doesn't seem to address intermittent issues, but figured I'd try anyway. My original setting was 24 bit, 48,000 and I've changed this to 24 bit 44,100. If anyone else decides to try this please let us know if you have any success, or if you've found another solution that worked. Thanks!
