Uzique was drinking alone again, and took the anger that stems from his loneliness out on his speakers.
What sort of speaker set up is it? All you can really do is play with the parts, swap out different ones, etc to find out where in the chain the problem lies. Hook them up to an mp3 player, if possible, and that'll tell you whether it's your computer or not pretty quickly.Uzique wrote:
ok guys
got really fucked last night and had a lot of people in my room, yada yada... long story short, woke up today and the sound on my computer is pretty fucked. the speakers crackle with a sort of static whenever the volume is pushed to a decent level, as if they're broken... but i know they're not (unless every single speaker somehow broke, at once). im not sure if the computer applied any automatic updates, or if it crashed, even... it locked up during the night when a playlist was playing and had to have the power turned off and back on again.
odd. any ideas?
check no-one accidentally pulled some wires out and theyre grounded?
I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.
Could be drivers
my E-MU gives me odd pops and crackles when I leave it on for too long :\. It doesn't have win-7 appropriate drivers soo

cheers for the advice. i'll check it all out thoroughly when i've got the time and effort. pretty strange.
im thinking it's driver/software related, though, cause the crackles happened after the weird computer freeze

Do the speakers still crackle if you hook up any other audio source?
it seems one of the speakers got damaged somehow... when doing isolated channel tests the buzzing/screeching noise was very clearly coming from one of my 5.1 speakers (centre-right). the top tweeter rings and sounds like it's mechanically failing. if i apply pressure to the cone, the harsh noise goes away. i've just kinda caved in the cover for now and it's working fine. guess it was one max-volume song too many...

I'm looking to get a smart phone for the new year to replace my Samsung Slyde. Anyone have or know someone that owns a Samsung Galaxy S? The AMOLED screen looks pretty damn impressive.
my phone has one, great screen, does not seem to get warm and is vivid
Girlfriends brother has one. It's an awesomely nice phone. Then again I'm a sucker for android. Incidentially I'm posting this from an iOS device

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Only 2 people Ive known who had them had theirs break within a month and send it back for 6 weeks... and one of them came back broken too
Dammit I keep hearing mixed reviews about it. Dunno what to do
So Windows 7 doesn't exactly run as good as I'd like on my laptop, and since the battery is worn out, I'm looking to switch to Linux. Any good distro's out there besides Ubuntu? If it helps, here are the specs of the laptop:
Core 2 Duo T7100 @ 1.8Ghz
2GB Dual Channel RAM @ 667Mhz
GeForce 8400M GS
Core 2 Duo T7100 @ 1.8Ghz
2GB Dual Channel RAM @ 667Mhz
GeForce 8400M GS
Not sure what the req specs are but my friend has been using Mint for about 7-8 years now. Seems like a solid distro.
Looks like I have brand new Enermax Revolution85+ 850w shipping towards me. Yay my fav PC parts store delivers like always

Just up the memory to 3gb or 4gb. I'm running Windows 7/64 Ultimate on a T4200 (2 GHz Dual Core) with 3GB with an HD4570, with 1080P LED LCD, and it games just fine.alexb wrote:

i switched around the jacks/channels (because it was my centre-right that i thought was 'broken' - i moved it to rear right, less important) and now the crackling and 'damaged' sound will source from another speaker. it's as if the speakers can't handle the high-range anymore, they just crackle and break-up. connections are all (seemingly) fine; no visible damage; no recent driver changes made, either, according to windows update tool. damn why did i have to play drunken music so damn loud?
