neddie Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Something else new since I upgraded to 2008.1 - now I get a fairly loud "click" from the laptop speakers during boot. Just about the time where it says "Starting udev" (but of course perhaps completely unrelated to this), it gives a "crack" like when you plug something in to a hifi. This never happened before with other Mandrivas on this machine. Any idea what it might be? By the way I've disabled pulseaudio due to the skype problem, not sure if this is related or not. And I often notice artsd chewing up 10% or so of cpu, but when I kill the task it comes back again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) is it similar to the sound you might hear when turning on speakers (i.e. desktop speakers)? I know on my desktop 5.1 speakers, whenever I turn them on, their is an audible "crack" (if the volume is up).

neddie Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yeah, I guess so, but my volume isn't turned up loud and it's never done it before. Or maybe it did it before but always so quiet that you couldn't hear it. Can't believe it's normal for a laptop to make such a noise though. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Can't believe it's normal for a laptop to make such a noise though. :unsure:I don't think it's normal either :) - I was just curious what it sounds like. For you to get an audible click caused by the power on, volumes would need to be set before the sound card is initialized - not likely, but you should check dmesg for any weird errors me thinks. Also, mute all output in alsamixer, save the config and reboot - see if the sound is still there. Edited October 30, 2008 by tyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 The only thing weird I can see in dmesg is this input: PC Speaker as /class/input/input3No idea what that means. But I've muted all outputs in kmix (and set volumes to zero too), and done the same with the inputs, and the click is still there :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
