High-pitch With Firewire Options

[iShawn]

The problem I am having is noise that the computer is making when the firewire is plugged into it with the Firepod. When the power cord isn't plugged into the computer, the noise ceases but when I plug the firepod into it in any combination of the firewire outs, etc I get this noise. This noise stops for a second when I click on something or other wierd actions like that.

Anyone have a solution?

i have had the same problem. i have had 4 G5 from apple. they replaced them because there is a power distribution problem. the whine you here is from the CPU in the G5 not having enough power. The power supplies in the G5 are crap in my opinion.
you can download the chud tools and uncheck a box, but it will not remember you setting so everytime you boot your computer you will have to go into sys prefs and uncheck this box, or deal with the whine. but why should we have to do a fix like this when we paid large sum of money to have a working computer. i have found that apple likes to sell and idea, get the money and then build the product in the 3 or 4 rev that works.
just like i ordered logic 7.1 on april 6. they tell me my order has been delayed until may 19. what the hell. so they sold me software that wasn't even developed yet. i paid for sudo code.
i tell you. i have some very convencing audio from a exec customer sales rep from california saying some really bad things about apple and there execs in a heated conversation about this whine problem. i think i might just make it public.
