    Need help recovering device disconnect sound feature


    Windows 7 Pro


    I know this may sound silly but the choice of device disconnect sound is missing from my Control Panel.
    It is on my other computers.


    Wonder if anyone can suggest a way to put it back short of reinstalling Windows?


    I like it for when I disconnect an external USB drive.


    Thanks for reading this.

    Hi jadinolf,

    I don't, but are you aware of Repair Install - Windows 7 Help Forums

    Run from within windows, replaces your OS, keeps everything else!

    I'm trying to be sure I have Windows 7 pro.
    The Windows DVD says my version is not compatible with the DVD.
    Can't believe it.

    Is the problem because you have set a custom Sound Scheme? Maybe the default Sound Scheme will bring the list up again.

    Also worth a check. Look in \Windows\media directory for the presence of a "Hardware Remove" sound file.

    I'll give it a try BUT the same scheme in on all five of my computer have a sort of custom scheme and they have a requirement for disconnect USB device.


    I have come to believe that the missing thing is not worth worrying about.


    Thanks for checking in.
