Question

New  Win10 PC, only recording software loaded, every 30 sec a descending ding sounds, (like new e-mail note, but no e-mail) my focusrite lights up. Any idea what that is and how to disable it?There are no programs running and I keep getting this occasional sound coming through my audio devices. Any idea how to disable whatever it is? I can't find anything running in Task Manager.

Answer 1

What the issue most likely is that with new Windows 10 installations, comes with Skype (remember Microsoft bought Skype), and the OS logs you into your Skype account automatically. It may actually be your Skype account sending you notifications. You can right click and uninstall Skype to avoid this issue.
