Is this a Windows thing or something?
EDIT: On Linux, if you somehow knew that some USB device had been connected, but didn’t know what, I’d run
sudo journalctl -krb
— I believe that the kernel will always log a message when a new device is connected. Also,lsusb -t
would show the layout of the USB tree and what devices are where on it.Wouldn’t it be more portable to use dmesg, instead of journalctl, which is only on systems with systemd?
KDE Plasma has a USB connected and disconnected sound, I’m sure may other mainstream DEs do too.
On Windows, if you wanted to confirm the sound was from your computer, device manager usually flickers every time a new device is plugged in. New devices should also be logged in the Event Logs.
