How do I turn off the notification sound for when my laptop thinks it is unplugged?

I have a laptop in which every time a big program is running, it thinks that it is unplugged for a split second causing a sound notification and then thinks it is plugged again when in reality it was plugged in the entire time. Since big programs require big amounts of power and in turn requires my laptop to be charged to be able to work on projects for long times, I always get the beeping noise over and over again. I tried turning off notification and sound settings in multiple places, but the only time it is fully off is when I mute the volume of my laptop, which also prevents me from hearing music, voice/video calls, etc. I've had multiple instances where people thought someone was at a supermarket since it would beep all the time and get heard by the microphone. I feel like I've exhausted most of the common ways to stop system setting noises but still am in this problem. What can I do?

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving the issue. I understand that you want to turn off the notification sounds. I’ll certainly assist you with this.

    To change the notification sound, you can refer the steps mentioned below:

    1. Press Windows logo key + R, to open Run dialog box.
    2. Type mmsys.cpl and click on OK.
    3. Now, click on the Sounds tab.
    4. Under Program Events, look for Device Connect in the list and click on it.
    5. Now, click on the drop down under Sounds and select None from the lists.
    6. Click on Apply and OK.

    Below is a screenshot for reference:

     

    If this doesn’t work, you can turn off the System sounds from the Volume Mixer and see if that helps. To do this, right click on the Sound icon on the Taskbar and click on Open Volume mixer. Now, mute the sound for System Sounds.

    Below is a screenshot for reference:

     

    Let us know how it goes.

    I did those and it still doesn't work. I already put the system sounds at zero and the device connect/disconnect sounds weren't the ones for the charger because it still makes a beep and the sound isn't related to the default ones for device connect/disconnect. Do you think it is something that is related to Acer, the brand of my laptop?
