![]() ![]() On the PT PC, I have system sounds disabled.Īpparently the "DDM technology" that the ConnectPro KVM switches use goes beyond the traditional way of emulating the presence of the keyboard and mouse. There is no indication from Windows sounds that I am switching on my office/internet PC. After that, I unplugged the wired keyboard and all is working as it should. Initially I had to use a spare wired keyboard to launch the Unifying software and get it to recognize my wireless devices. ![]() The switching is fast and the programmable buttons on my mouse work in Pro Tools.
