Device Disconnect/Connect sounds two or three times a day

[martynmoore]

Hi, I have a multi-drive video editing machine that is making the 'Device Disconnect' and then instantly the 'Device Connect' sounds randomly, two or three times a day. I am not disconnecting anything at the time, and it doesn't seem to interrupt my editing processes, other than by irritating me.

Is there some kind of event log that I can have open and see what is causing this when it happens?

Faulting connected device or driver error, unplugged all your external devices and then plug in one at a time until it starts again, work out which device is faulting then try it on another computer or in a different usb port etc

There are a couple of tools that enumerate USB devices, I think the Nirsoft one shows you the date the device was added, the Microsoft one might too. They might help you figure out which one is the cause..?

Thanks to both of you. I'll try those tools and see what they tell me.

Yep. Looks like it was my recently acquired C-SATA adaptor for my Angelbird SSD that I use in my Atomos monitor recorder. I'm embarrassed to say that I'd left it dangling out of a front port and it had worked loose. I don't know why I didn't check all connected devices before posting here. Thanks for the advice and tools info, though.

I've made a note of them! I've heard of Nirsoft, but not for a long time, good to be reminded of it! Excellent Ubuysa! 👏👏👏
