Default What the hell... - 03-15-2004, 10:12 PM

OK, My speakers have the volume notch at 0. There are no music playing on my comp (windows media, no cd in the cd-rom drive, launch is not on) And yet, I hear MUSIC.

thats right, I hear music coming from my speakers that have the volume down to 0. If I turn it up, it stops. If I plug in headphones, I can't hear it. I tried disconnecting from the net, but it still plays.

What is causing this?

How large are your speakers? What brand?

If they aren't shielded or are poorly insulated, your speakers may be picking up a radio station. Before we got a Bose system hooked up, we had huge floor speakers and until we took them in to get shielded, they would constantly pick up a local country station. I hate country.

I heard a the guy say "93.1 fm" so I must be picking up a radio station.

But, why do I only hear it when my speakers are turned to 0?

Most likely it's because whatever source you're listening to overpowers the radio station signal. With the volume at 0 the other signal has free reign over the speakers.
