Random device diconnected/connected sounds.

Hello everyone.
 
I have an annoying problem - from the moment I installed Windows 8.1 (after 3 years of using Windows 7) I started getting random (sometimes not so random) sounds when you connect and then disconnect a device.
It's never only connect or only disconnect sound - it's always disconnected and then connected device sound. I didn't have that problem on Windows 7.
 
It happens almost 8 out of 10 times when I'm
- Starting up my system
- Starting a game (Battlefield 4 or League of Legends, what's funny - it doesn't happen when I'm starting/playing Diablo 3: RoS)
- Turning off/on router switch (Livebox 3.0)
 
What I tried:
- Using different ports for my mouse and headset (tested all of them)
- Disconnecting headset and using different USB mouse
- Installed newest drivers from Nvidia, Roccat, Logitech and Asus sites (all for Windows 8 or 8.1 x64)
- Tingling with power saving in device manager
 
I don't wan't to believe that any of my motherboard/case ports could start acting up because I'm not using them at all. I'm not even connecting any flash sticks and PC is standing in one place all the time.

If I can provide any logs you might need just tell me. I'd like to solve that problem because it's driving me crazy! 

Thank you in advance.

Same here. I thought it might be my external drives sleeping and waking or something, but I didn't care enough to look into it.
Doesn't happen on my laptop, only my desktop.
I'd love to know what this is all about too.

Dream-phone: USB type-c (3.1), 1440p, 5-inch, removable battery, 32gb RAMdrive, sd card slot, stock Android, transparent atomic purple build, 9050 mah battery, waterproof AF, nuclear powered, ac wifi is fine.

you can log USB history with this program. It records what devices plug in and plug out. maybe you can find which device it is if you check right after you hear the sound.

 

If you can't find anything in here, you can know for sure that the problem is not usb hardware related. In which case there seems to be something else wrong.

Then you know for sure that it isn't a hardware thing. When you hear the sound, does something steal the focus of windows? an example would be if you were in a full screen application that you would go back to desktop when you hear the sound.

I understand what you mean but nothing does that. I'm kind of relieved that it's not hardware problem.

do you have hamachi? Watch device manager when it happens to see if it actually is installing a device.

Nope, no hamachi and any alike programs.

open up your case and re seat all of your USB headers as well as the HD audio, and whatever else might be there. (With it off of course)
