Not really Linux related, but very strange. I have a real nice set of Altec Lansing computer speakers hooked up to one of my Linux Mint machines. This is a three piece set with two desktop speakers and a large subwoofer on the floor. I've had these speakers for at least ten years and they have always worked and sounded good. I hooked them up to this computer about a month ago. After a couple weeks, they started making a very loud low frequency beep/buzz every thirty minutes. It is about a one second burst. I turned them off with the on/off switch on the volume control, and the beep persisted. At exactly :29 and :59. I unplugged the audio input from the computer speaker jack and the beep continued. There is no kind of logic circuitry in this thing. Just an audio amplifier and related electronics. The only way to stop it is to unplug it. When plugged in it is like clockwork at exactly :29 and :59, regardless of whether it is connected to the computer or not. I hooked up another set of speakers to the computer and they do not do this. Sad, because these are a great sounding set of speakers.
Anyone run into something weird like this? Michael _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
