[JAWS-Users] Re: Strange Noises and Sound Cards
Marsha, Your problem could be as simple as a loose connection either at your computer or on the back of your speakers themselves. Try taking the tips of your speaker cables on both ends and twisting them around while slightly pushing in to the receiving ends of your computer and speakers. The other problem could be your speakers might be shot! Yes they will play depending on exactly how they might be damaged. They make some good very inexpensive speakers today for $49.00 and under. I once had a similar problem and it turned out to be one of the speaker wire connections to one speaker was continually being bent down due to me having them pushed up against my desk's shelving which caused a short in it making my speakers sound scratchy when being played. I moved the speakers up an inch and bent the cable wires around and that fixed it. HTH, Bob The non board moderator - Eliminate annoying spam!

I would suggest a good cleaning. It sounds as there is a lot of dust inside and the fans aren't cooling the system. RJ - Original Message - From: Marsha [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 6:44 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Strange Noises and Sound Cards Hi As I have posted before, this crazy computer crashes every so often, definitely not on a predictable basis. When it does this there are some awful sounds that come out of the speakers. When it crashes, the error message says that Windows has shut down to prevent damage to system. Dell has no idea what the problem could be. They want to reinstall Windows. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I thought it might be a Jaws issue, so I talked to Freedom Scientific yesterday. The tech was sure it was the sound card. When I talked to Dell, they said they would replace the sound card (aparently to appease me). Sometimes before the crash, the computer speakers start making strange noises, such as a 2 second Donald Duck episode, or just strange random noises. Does anyone have any ideas? BTW, I thought if a tech person saw the error message which comes up after the crash, they would have a pretty good idea what the problem was. If this isn't the case, how do these error messages help? Please, any help would be appreciated.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Strange Noises and Sound Cards
It is easy once some one shows you how. Or tells you how. First get a couple cans of compress air at your local computer store. I got mine at Best buy the last time. First I usually take a sweeper and use the fine brush attachment and run it over the interior of the computer after removing the cover. Than take off the shroud that cover the processor. It is important when blowing out this area, you hold the fans so they don't move and blow the air in spurts. If this isn't done, I been told one could burn out the fan bearing. Mine has three fans. Two facing the back of the computer case and one facing the top of the case. Hope this helps. - Original Message - From: The SHINING-STAR To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 11:09 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Strange Noises and Sound Cards how do you clean the system, or should someone sighted do it for you! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list%40googlegroups.com/ Address to contact the management team: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups JAWS Users List group.
