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 |

QUOTE (editbrain @ Feb 7 2005, 15:37) you are way off base. if the problem did not exsits before the purchase of the mac. there should not be a ground loop now unless there is a power problem with the mini. i don't know were you keep getting this ground loop theory. it sounds like you read about it on another forum and want to use it to solve this persons problem, when in deed he has noise, but not a ground loop. are you saying that he has a ground loop between his headphones and his computer. since when do you plug headphones into a wall outlet? it is good that your a pro musician, and probably have had some ground loop problems in your past, but this is a hardware problem with a computer. just because it is in a music forum does not mean that the issue has to be studio related. several other forum users have trouble shot this issue, and this ground loop thing has been ruled out as far as i can tell. do you want to help this guy or not? i for one have had major issues with apple power supplies so i speak from experience. i have worked for apple fixing 15" and 12" powerbooks. i know the problems that arrise from there power issues. i have had to have 4 G5's to replaced by apple. not because of ground loops, but because of power distribution problems with there crappy power supplies. ( i thought i mentioned this in another post) anyway. can anyone please tell me the last time that someone had a ground loop between there headphones and a headphone jack? thanks, editbrain While it seems that this may be a hardware problem with the mini, I've seen where something like a monitor, or a printer attached to a computer could be causing a ground loop...
