Microsoft: Adding Audio to an Otherwise Lackluster Day
May 20, 2021
I don’t know if the information in “Horrible New Windows 10 Bug Sounds Like the Most Annoying Glitch Ever” is accurate. I find it amusing, particularly for a sophisticated, user centric software company like Microsoft. The write up reports:
According to Microsoft, some Windows users have suddenly been hit by an error that leaves their devices making a highly irritating squeaking sound… After installing KB5000842 or later updates, 5.1 Dolby Digital audio may play containing a high-pitched noise or squeak in certain apps when using certain audio devices and Windows settings.
Squeaking. Like a dog toy, like a rusty hinge, like a criminal explaining who his or her accomplices were, where these individuals live, and their modus operandi? Like the sound of a programmer who gets away with flawed code do he or she could do a Teams call?
Amusing just like the toothless Defender.
