Nobody is advocating for the sound to play at startup. The comment that started this conversation specifically uses the word “looking”. We’re just saying people do pay attention to what kind of surround sound something has.
I was originally responding to the comment about looking for surround sound options and was not trying to defend the sounds. Obviously, the info on the box is usually the best way to tell.
But as we discuss it, some use cases for the sound come to mind.
If the media is just a file on a hard drive or if the original packaging is lost or damaged, I might appreciate having the sound to indicate what settings to use on the receiver.
And honestly beyond all that… Who cares if somebody does like having the sound play every time? We all do weird shit.
Believe A is true. And believe B is true. Also believe A and B cannot both be true at the same time. That is cognitive dissonance.
In this case it is “short circuited” aka bypassed by saying something dismissive. Doing so suggests there is nothing that can be done about the circumstances behind the dissonant ideas, so it’s not worth thinking about.

As someone else who grew up in that world, it’s because we know there is no logic or reason behind conservative politics. They deserve no grace; no benefit of the doubt.
Conservative politics is lazy and selfish. They don’t want to learn about anyone else’s experience. They don’t want to understand science. They like the hateful and “ignorant” (the leaders know better) things their politicians say, so they don’t bother to ask if the statements are true just as long as the statements are convenient.
Had I not lived it for ~20 years, I never would have realized how little justification conservatives have for their beliefs. The rest of us aren’t missing something. They really are that smug and selfish. It’s blatant, willful ignorance.
Not trying to simp for TEAMS, but what issues are people having? Every now and then I have to go in and change mic and speakers back to laptop, presumably from some update our IT deployed.
Other than that and wanting it to show on MY screen when I’m transmitting sound, I can’t think of any improvements. Works better than the conference calls we used to have.
