Evolution of Windows Hardware Sounds | 2001-2026 | 4K/60fps

This is every Windows USB sound ever made — connect, disconnect, and fail — from XP all the way to Windows 11 26H1. Every version, every change, in 4K 60fps. Oh, and those "Longhorn" sounds everyone thought were real? Yeah, we need to talk about that. 2001 to 2026.
