Hi everyone,
I have two laptops - HP and Lenovo - which I connect to one external Dell monitor using an HDMI switch. I've had this setup for over a year now without any issues.
Starting today, I noticed that whenever I switch to the HP laptop display, the laptop produces a "hardware connect" sound. The HP laptop produces a "hardware disconnect" sound whenever I switch to the Lenovo display. Replacing the HDMI cable did not solve the issue. Whenever I switch to or from the Lenovo display, the Lenovo does not make any sounds. Before today, the transition between displays was quiet.
Can someone advise what might be causing this issue with the HP laptop and suggest a way to prevent these sounds (apart from changing the sound notification settings via mmsys.cpl)? Besides the notification sounds issue, the display works fine on both ends. Your advice will be appreciated!
