I have seen it give plenty unexplained problems - its something you normally wont ever see or hear. Are you able to "go meet the neighbours" with PC in hand and see if it does it at their place also. Usually to over come any power problems you can put in a UPS Power supply - but if its the whole house that wont help. I sugget you look up a electrician and get the place looked at as you may have bad wiring etc.	wainuitech (129)

If it makes that sound when plugged into the power but turned off, it sounds very much like the speaker ystem has died. If it does it when the input lead is not plugged into the sound card it is pretty much certain that it is dead. It won't be power interference, if it was that bad nothing electronic in the house would work properly, TV & computer particularly. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

But there does appear to other power related problems in the house as mentioned in the post Number 7 having crazy problems with my tv and phone line too since moving into this place!!! argh wish i was married to an electrician/technician sometimes!!! Just a side note: if this cant be resolved soon, seriously get a electrician to have a look, at least to rule out any electrical problems. The ONE thing you have to look at here - What has changed - the Location/house. Saftey Story: I have this elderly wheelchair bound customer who was having all sorts of problems with his PC, Sound like yours included. I installed a UPS and within minutes it started going off, I changed it in case it was a dud - the replacement did the same. He had a electrician round the next day- some of the wiring was so bad in the house some of it was brown from getting to hot and he was told by the electrician it was lucky it didn't go on fire.	wainuitech (129)

That is caused by oveloading circuits with too many appliances, then uprating the circuit breaker to stop it tripping. Cables only overheat when overloaded and the voltage problem that caused the UPS to trigger was possibly a deteriorated termination at the socket or switchboard, again caused by overheating due to overload. Phones don't use mains power unless using a portable/base station or something modern with a plugpack and voltage drop will affect them too. It would help if the poster was more specific about the other problems. The speaker issue is relatively easy to diagnose by elimination. It doesn't make a lot of sense that it should be making noises when switched off either. If it is an old house it could have spread connectors in the power point allowing minor arcing to take place when the powerpack is plugged in. That will kick up a racket.

While you are right in what you say - in the case I pointed out you are not quite right. It was caused by faulty wiring in an old hose, the wiring was incorrectly installed by some cowboy who had previously owned the house. The appliances in the house were standard , eg TV, lights, bedroom clock, etc, no overloading at all. having crazy problems with my tv and phone line too since moving into this place It doesn't make a lot of sense that it should be making noises when switched off either. If it is an old house it could have spread connectors in the power point allowing minor arcing to take place when the powerpack is plugged in. That will kick up a racket. That tells me that somethings not right. As mentioned before Whats Changed? - Location/House Hence its safer to have it checked out then you know its safe or have it fixed.	wainuitech (129)
