In the device manager, go the "Universal Serial Bus controllers", and select the "USB Compositeĭevice" that corresponds to your device. Open the device manager (right click the start button).
Pick one of your USB devices (I would suggest your keyboard). Here is one way to produce a notification. Turn up the volume on your speakers so when you click on the slider you hear the ding very clearly. Then set the "System Sounds" slider to 10% or less. In your Sounds tab make sure you re-enable all the default sounds. One of the new Windows 10 notifications pops up, it is always at full volume.
Yes, when I click "play" in the "Sounds" tab of the old "Sound" control panel it is affected by the volume mixer. On my PC I have the "System Sounds" slider set just like in your pictures. None of your screenshot show a Windows 10 notification. Now I am playing a video, Now just like Windows 7, there is another volume control for the media player. Now if you plug in your cell phone and the cell phone makes a noise, you could never control that sound from that device plugged in. This is the same sound you will hear when you plug in your USB device. Now select one marked above and select TEST Now pay close attention when enabled and look I also had windows 7 pro, so I know 7 very well.Īnd this will also disable any windows sounds which is the sound you hear plugging in your USB drive. Is low and muted and the sounds are off in the sound settings.Īnd if you open the volume mixer as it makes the sound plugging it in, then you may have a new slider to adjust that sound. LOL, I have 4 USB hard drives on my PC and they do not make a sound, WHY, because I have 2 of these settings off, the one above If that is not a slider or mute for system sounds, which when you plug in USB device, it makes one of the windows system sounds. LMAO, I am running windows 10 Pro v1709 build 16299.248
