Recently I installed prime95 on a IBM Intellistation Dual uproc. It seems my combination of soundcard+headphones is VERY sensitive since when I'm running 1/2 prime95s I can "hear" them chugging along on the headphones. There is a low volume high pitch periodic (2/s) noise emanating from the speakers. As soon as I turn prime95 off, it ceases. The volume setting has no effect on it. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm pretty sure its a faulty sound-card, just wondering if anyone had an idea on how to fix it. Thanks in advance. - ----- I had this same problem too. The solution is to mute the microphone. Don't know why, but it works. --- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
