Constant Beeping, USB refresh PowerA Xbox wired controller

[KLMC00]

I have searched the internet for a solution and couldn't find one.

When I used the LTS 24.04 version of Kubuntu there was no issue. I also used Zorin 22.04 LTS base, and that didn't have an issue either.

In this current 24.10, this is the result every 15 seconds or so:

It is accompanied by the system honking sound as well.

I have unplugged and re-plugged this USB device into the same port and other ports - same result.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

it's for getting a mass storage device to be recognized, but there may be something there you can use.

I tried following what was said, I don't think this device is a USB storage device so their naming instructions do not apply.

I'm not sure I have the technical skill to set this device as something else / I don't know what it would be called to modify the files they are mentioning.

I did restart the device as they suggested, no effect.

i think what top solution is saying is you just need to find the device id for whatever is causing the beeping noise and create a file in the rules.d directory that will define a rule for it so the system doesn't assign the default MTP rule which is causing the beeping.

so for that solution, you would just run lsusb to find your device in the list, note the number, and then write a file to the rules.d directory (the file name is not important as long as it ends in .rules)... the 90 prefix just means it will be run last.

the file needs to contain only the one line shown with your device id substituted for the one used by the author.... the quoted text is not important, but you should probably make it something like "usb-controller" or something recognizable.

then just reboot and replug in the device into a usb port to see if worked.

the 2nd answer is probably the more proper one which is to copy the existing rule to the directory and let the probe function there do its work on your device and make a rule for it automagically, but if for some reason that doesn't work you have the first option.
