USB mass storage devices will normally show up on the safely remove hardware icon - so flash memory drives, hard drives, cameras etc. will show up there.

USB hardware such as audio interfaces / hubs / keyboards / mice / scanners / tv tuners will generally not show up on the safely remove hardware icon , but you still get the sounds when connecting & disconnecting them & they do show up in Device Manager.

So I don't think you have a problem.
