Question Press Play in editor and I get Windows USB connect/disconnect sound

Just like the topic says. Play works as it should, I just get that USB sound as well. It's persisted through a complete reformat so it's either a Windows (11) thing or a Unity thing or something with my hardware thing. Occasionally happens during importing of packages as well.

Anyone else experience this?

Random event, only happens in Unity.

 

Thinking about this more.

Does Unity do anything special with external audio interfaces? I have some outboard DAW gear, maybe that's it?

There's a USB-C port on the Radeon card for VR..

The only USB devices I have on are an external backup drive, an external DVD/BD drive and the ASIO audio interface. No flash drives, removed the iLok, etc etc.

 

Have noticed a similar trend where when I try to access a webcam in Unity Editor on Windows, I hear the USB Disconnect sound in Windows and then it starts throwing errors. This happens completely randomly, sometimes it works fine and sometimes this happens. Would be interested in any insights why this happens with Unity only and webcams.
