I am running Windows Vista x32 on my Dell Inspiron 1525. The problem is that the device connect sound, immediately followed by the device disconnect sound, play intermittently even when not a single device is connected. I've already checked out a million online solutions, and here's what we can rule out:
- Again, it does this when no devices are connected, so it's not a loose USB device.
- It does this randomly; I can't predict when the sounds will play, and nothing shows up in the event viewer that I can link to this problem.
- My laptop doesn't have Bluetooth, so it's not just trying to pick up a network.
- I've updated every driver I can think of and that has been recommended by other forums. They're all up to date. I also have every service pack installed.
- This is a personalized sound scheme, so these sounds are ONLY linked to the device connecting or disconnecting, respectively. I've even gone through every sound in the profile just to make sure I didn't accidentally double up.
Btw, while I may put up a good show about knowing what I'm doing with a computer, I'm not that well-versed in techno-speak, so please dumb down your solutions. Thanks. :-)
