BTW, in case it's not obvious by its absence in the "Steps to reproduce" procedure, you do not have to be remotely logged in. Just for the RDP server to be enabled.

It seems that the kind of sound is not important. Instead, it is about the quantity of sounds firing up in short succession. Some applications are triggering this bug while clicking through their options, probably because there is some sound associated with a click.

Closing as [Fixed].
