Hearing Device Disconnect Audio When Apex is Launched - New PC
Hello,
I'm having a minor issue related to, I think, my USB connected devices on a brand new PC. My issue is that when I launch apex legends on steam and get to the connect screen, I start hearing regular 'device disconnect' sounds, the same windows sounds you hear if you were to unplug a thumb drive. I have 3 devices connected to my PC via USB externally: Keyboard, Mouse and Headphones. None of these devices necessarily stop working each time I hear the sound, but when I'm an actual match I have had my mouse stop working for a few seconds and then come back. I've tried moving each device to a new USB port on my PC with no results. Also I want to reiterate that I only have this issue when running apex legends. As soon as I close the game, it stops. I've tried disabling the lighting feature on my mouse both in-game and in the mouse software. Mouse is a steelseries rival 600, my headphones are steelseries arctis 7, and my keyboard is a corsair k70.
PC Specs:
AMD 5900x
32GB Corsair Dom RAM
Geforce RTX 3080 Founders
Any help in how I could troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated. The sound is annoying, but I'm more concerned about the points where my mouse will lose full connectivity. I'm assuming they're related.
Figured I'd come back and post my finding just in case someone else has a similar issue. First, I discovered that I experienced the issue with other steam games once I had installed some more and tried them out. That told me it was something happening when launching a game on Steam. I installed a few non-steam games to be sure and did not experience the issue.
The obvious fix was to disable Steam's in-game overlay and it worked. Haven't had any issues since disabling it.
