It sounds like the mouse, or other device, is continuously being re-detected which suggests that either the power to it is intermittent or something is interfering with the driver. Is the mouse connected to the laptop on its own USB port or connected to a hub with other USB devices? Although a USB port can (nominally) deliver 500mA to a single device, when a passive hub is connected to that port those 500mA are shared among the ports on the hub. That can cause issues if the total number of devices on the hub require more power than is available. Some computers don't quite come up to the 500mA/port specification in the first place. For example, my optical mouse requires 100mA. It coexists happily on a 4 port hub with an IR receiver that also requires 100 mA and a UPS and digital camera dock that draw practically nil mA from the hub. On the other hand my keyboard requires 500mA by itself so it can't be used with any other devices on a non-powered hub. Neither can the webcam or USB WiFi adapter which also require 500mA each. Some devices don't require quite as much power but they will consume most of the available bandwidth of a USB port, at least while they are operating. Devices like webcams, scanners and WiFi network adapters or USB broadband modems are high bandwidth devices which can also be high power consumption devices. |

Download UVCView from Microsoft Downloads. When you run it the utility will display the computer's USB ports and the devices that are connected to them. If the problem device is on a USB port, or if it is a USB port, UVCView should show it appearing and disappearing from the list of connected USB devices as you hear the sounds. It may also give a clue as to what could be wrong with your mouse from the details included in the Device Information pane. You can also look for errors or warning messages in the Windows Events logs -- Administrative Tools - Event Viewer. If the above does point to a specific device the first thing to try would be reinstalling the drivers for that device. |
