I'm curious, why do you think it's a driver issue? There's only one USB driver for my motherboard which is "Asmedia_USB3_V1.16.35.1" (the latest one) and if I switch to a different port, woudn't it still rely on that same driver?
Other than that, the port that I used before has the label "keyboard" on it which is linked to ROG Keybot chip, maybe that's the issue? I don't use this feature though as CUE have all the functions of keybot already.
Edit: I give up, its making that sound again randomly. Not everytime I restart/turn pc on but sometimes.
