I'm a first-time Mac user, and first-time poster on this site. After spending way too many years fighting Windows PC's, I finally made the switch and picked up a $599 Mac Mini w/512MB of RAM. As I've heard many say before, I'll never go back, I'm already a Mac fanatic after two weeks! I love everything about the Mac, especially Garageband, however, I'm getting a buzz when my speakers are plugged into the headphone jack. I've tried several sets of speakers, with the same result. If I keep the volume of the speakers very low, I can't hear the buzz, but I have to max out the Macs volume, and sometimes it's not quite loud enough. It's frustrating because I have a Creative 2.1 system with subwoofer, but I can't cut it loose on my tunes. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks. JBeat |

It's definitely a buzz. The Mac is right next to my LCD monitor, but the buzz doesn't stop when I turn it off. Since it didn't buzz on my PC, and it buzzes with different speakers attached, it has to be originating with the Mac. I've always had sound cards in my PC's, so I never used the headphone jack to run my speakers, I was wondering if that is a common problem when running off of the headphone jack.
