Hi Jay,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.

When exactly do you get the sounds?

What is the make and model of your computer?

Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

The issue could be because of corrupted sound drivers on the computer.

I suggest you to follow these methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: Run Audio playback troubleshooter.

Steps to run Audio playback troubleshooter:

  1. Press Windows key and type Troubleshooting.
  2. Under Hardware and Sound run Audio playback troubleshooter.

If the issue still persist after running Audio playback troubleshooter move to method 2.

Method 2: Update the audio drivers.

Steps to update drivers:

  1. Press Windows + R keys, opens Run command.
  2. Type devmgmt.msc and click on Ok.
  3. Expand Sound, video and game controllers.
  4. Right click on High definition audio device and click on Update driver software.
