Please tell me someone here can help with this I am going to lose my mind...

I have a new Alienware laptop. I am dual booting with linux and windows 10. The windows side is constantly throwing random alerts. The noise is the same one you get when you adjust the volume bar.

Steps I've Taken: - Ran all the troubleshooters, The audio one does throw me a warning about enhanced settings not working right and should be disabled but does not fix the problem.

  • Checked drivers across the system everything seems ok

-Clean install

-CC cleaner reg repair

-malwarebytes scan

  • Followed the advice presented Here Which talks about downloading the process monitor tool and then parsing for .wav files. Great plan!!!! But... Whenever I run the tool the sound will not happen. Often it will happen just before and immediately after but it WILL NOT detect anything.

I finally gave in and decided to just disable all system notifications. But what do you know it still happens.

Im straight out of of ideas. Please someone help.

Judging by the fact that if you connect the laptop via Ethernet the issue disappears, I bet this is a wifi interference issue, or a NIC compatibility issue. Try the steps below:

1) Change your home WiFi channel

2) Delete and re-install your wireless adapter

3) Uninstall and re-install your WiFi NIC drivers

4) Edit the properties of the wireless NIC to 802.11 b only or g only to see if it works
