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 |

The problem is resolved!!
It didn't take the AppleCare rep very long to isolate the problem, and it turns out that there was nothing wrong with my Mac Mini, or its power supply. The rep had me take out the bluetooth usb device that I was using for my Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse, and hook up a wired usb keyboard and mouse that I had. As soon as I booted back up, the buzz was gone. I had the bluetooth device in the usb port right next to the headphone jack, and I guess it was causing interference. The easy solution was to move the bluetooth device to my usb hub on the other side of the desk, and the buzz is gone. Sometimes we overlook the easy things while looking for the complicated. Thanks for all of your responses, it's good to know you guys are there to help.
