Re: background noise
I have a similair noise from my da g4 headphone socket, it comes from bended not fitting headphone miniplugs or damaged socket (??) that makes a tiney groundloop, changed plug or socket and the noise went away, griffin sucks, in my opinion though. k 2009/3/5 bob b adel...@charter.net The noise I was experiencing was a hardware issue--some interference somewhere, perhaps from a peripheral--that I heard through a speaker channel. Not sure what you mean by still seeing it in Final Vinyl, or internal noise, so maybe your problem is software-related. Try reinstalling the program; do you have the current version, try Googling final vinyl noise or similar. good luck.

Similar problem with my first generation iMic recently. I hadn't used it in over a year, keep it in its original case, and none of my mini plug headsets would work or had excessive static. Blamed it on the old headsets (all three), borrowed a neighbour's new headset, still no audio or only static. In playing around with it, discovered the headphone jack would only work if I partially insert the plug and somehow stop it from falling out. After taking the cover off and looking at the circuit board for any obvious problems, I gave up. shrug So I bought a USB headset for less than what it would have cost to buy a new iMic.

Re: background noise
there is background noise that shows up in one channel on Final Vinyl (and thus in one of the speakers also). Its a low level static sound with a beat of about 20 per second. First thing I did was disconnect all peripherals, including iMic. Then went around the house expecting stray motor noise. Nada. Where do I look next good folk? thanks, Del Sawtooth, G3, 10.4.11 All 11 suggestions are worthwhile, thanks, but unfortunately - nix on all ( moving tower monitor, etc. is a bit monumental so will pass on that). I had felt the fact that the noise was showing up on only one channel to somehow be the key - and that this might point to something internal or software related? ( since I know of no external sources to account for) Ideas? thanks, Del --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
