    If you are using USB mouse or keyboard I recommend trying USB 2.0 for them. Some mouses and keyboards even though their specs say 3.0 don't work properly in 3.0 but do in 2.0.
    Humans can't move a mouse or type fast enough to even get close to USB 2.0 speeds let along 3.0 speeds.

    both are in usb 2.0 ports, you see my motherboard is interesting, it has two usb 2.0 which it suggests using keyboard/mouse in and 6 usb 3.0, the only problem is if l wanted to use ps2 mouse "and" keyboard l cant, its either one or the other as the port is either for a mouse or keyboard so its a good job l porefer usb.

    well reinstalling has decreased the amount of annoying detection sounds, but it hasnt seemed to stop them.

    lve noticed a couple when connecting an external (l'll get a disconnection then reconnection sound), but the most annoying is the random detection sound l hear.. the strangest part is that they have all happened as lve walked into the room..

    now granted the first two l remember happened before l reinstalled, however one happened about 30mins ago before l turned on the monitor, ld just popped out of my room for something, as l came back through the door the speakers sounded a connection tone.. once or twice l can put down to coincidence by three times (or at least three times l remember), only thing l can put it down to is change in ambient temp (lm not a fan of heating, or at least the sauna of the rest of the house, so my room is always the coolest in the house). its just strange that there isnt a log which collects information on devices disconnecting and reconnecting.

    Still sounds like a Smart T.V. thing. I read somewhere that when booting (turning on) some Smart T.V. will go back to default and monitor with microphone and camera.
    So your movement or noise could be making these things work.

    You could cover the microphone and camera to see if that helps.

    The only other thing I can think of is a loose connection some where including wall connection and or surge protector. A loose connection could be picking up a small vibration from you entering the room.

    definitely not the first thing, as smart as my TV gets is it has a USB connection to connect a thumb drive to.. it doesnt have any other smart features.

    however you have an interesting idea with regards to surge protection, l did replace one about 5 months ago.. its definitely not one of the best ones lve used, l had to make do with the crappy 6 plug one over the usual higher standard ones as that was all l could get at short notice.. however l do plan on getting a better one and must admit l dont remember it doing the extra connection sounds outside of the occasional one when connecting/disconnecting externals when l was using the higher quality ones.

    Well you have checked all the normal things. It's time to check the crazy things.
