Random chirp - coming from system speaker?

 
Just finished building my first computer, and everything seems to be working fine... except that I am getting a random "chirp" that sounds to me like it's coming from the system speaker (but it could be coming from something/somewhere else).  It seems to happen most within the first 5 minutes of bootup.  I've been running this time for about 1 hour, and it chirped I think 5 times in the first 1/2 hour, but hasn't chirped at all during the last 1/2 hour.
1)  What could be causing this?
2)  Should I be concerned about it?
I read a couple of other posts about a similar problem, and they said it might be a power supply issue or some other thing on the MB that you put clear nail polish on???  Sorry, I'm not too knowledgeable in this subject.
I am building this 'puter for my mom-in-law, and will be shipping it off to her -- so I want it to be rock-solid before I send it, since I won't be there to trouble-shoot it for 2 more months if something goes wrong.
Thanks,
Blaine

You could try swapping the front rear connections to see if this swaps the fronts with the rears or whether the fronts continue to work. It could be a dodgy cable or speakers or a loose connection.
Dude I don't think you saw my other post lol, I changed the setting to 4.1 and I got sound from all but one of the speakers!! But there's still that one speaker..

  • I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  The head phones work though.  I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled.  Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

    I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  There is sound when we use the headphones.  Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • I have a macbook pro 15 retina - when ever I connect to bluetooth speaker, I get this loud noise coming from the speaker - if I turn bluetooth off, the noise is now coming from the macbook speakers

    I have a macbook pro 15 retina - when ever I connect to bluetooth speaker, I get this loud noise coming from the speaker - if I turn bluetooth off, the noise is now coming from the macbook speakers & stays until i restart.

    Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
    I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
    - ICA Driver V4.0.0
    - Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
    I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
    I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
    I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
    After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
    I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
    So, at this point I am stuck??
    Thanks

  • Distort noise coming from internal speaker

    Hi
    I just purchased my first iMac about 3 months ago and just today while listening to iTune the speaker made a stranger cracking sound and now all audio on the mac sounds like distortion. Does this sound like a broken sound card?
    I restarted the mac and even the loading sound is the same "distortion noise"
    thanks

    This beeping plagued me for months and months, driving me insane.  I tried to find a solution on the Internet; however, all I found were many people complaining about this random beeping noise from their HP laptops.  A couple of times the beeping stopped for a few days, but then it would come back.   But almost three months ago it stopped for good (I hope)!  I didn't do anything--it just stopped.  WEIRD.  But you might find this link helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svvZ70_H2wM&feature=email&email=comment_reply_received

  • Sound coming from internal speaker

    Hi all,
    I have solaris 10 installed on my ultra 60 but when I play music or enable sounds in gnome all sounds are coming from the internal speaker, not from the speakers I connected.
    How can I enable the 'good' speakers instead of the hardware speakers?

    Is there a way to save the sdtaudiocontrol settings so that they come up that way every time?
    I get tired of turning off the internal speaker and turning on the external output after I logout or reboot.
    I've been using Solaris 9 and Gnome 2.0 and will shortly finish upgrading the workstation to Solaris 10 SJD. I have no reason to expect that the new S10 with SJD will behave differently than the older version.

  • Sound only coming from one speaker

    My son had an iPod Touch 4.  One day, one channel stopped working.  I hooked his earbuds up to my iPhone and both speakers worked.  We hooked different earbuds up to his iPod Touch 4 and  only one speaker played so we figured the iPod jack had gone bad. 
    Today, he won a brand new iPod Touch 5 from a contest at our church.  He sets everything up, syncs up with iCloud and only one speaker is working.  This is using the brand new earbuds that came with the iPod Touch 5.  I call Target, they say to come in to exchange it.  We return the iTouch 5 and get another brand new one.
    On the way home, he begins to setup the iTouch 5 and when he slid the unlock slider, he heard the "click" in both earbuds so we thought everything was great.  We get home, he syncs up with iCloud and low and behold, only one earbud is working.  I plug my Klipsch earbuds into the new iTouch 5 and only one earbud is working.
    What in the heck is going on?  Apparently this has nothing to do with his device, but something within iCloud or iTunes?  Even stranger thing is it only plays one speaker even with Youtube, Video Chat and Netflix. 
    I can "barely" hear music coming out of the speaker that is not working.  It's almost like the audio is panned or faded to one channel.
    Any suggestions?  What would cause one audio channel to stop working when he syncs up to his account?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You are pushing the headphones all the way in, or you have a case that is preventing you from doing so. The plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Touch.

  • Sound coming from wrong speaker (5.1 Setup)

    I have my iMac (Mid 2011) connected with a AV Receiver (Thunderbolt ==> HDMI). The sound from the center speaker is coming out of the rear left speaker.
    When I check the speakers with MIDI configurator in the application folder, all noise is coming out of the speaker it should come out.
    The player i am using mostly is VLC. I also tried Mplayer and Plex, both have the same issue.
    I am using OS X Lion, I did some research and found a page on the VLC forum where this issue is happening to several people

    The .16 drivers on my computer are displayed as 6.0.102.17, date 3/25/2013, is that correct?
    I noticed that the routing improved compared to .23 however the bass and center are still being routed to the wrong speaker, at this point I'm starting to think that it could be a problem with my 5.1 kit, I will give it a shot with my on-board sound card.

  • Sound only coming from left speaker.

    I recorded live music last night from a soundboard in a music hall. The new belkin tunetalk pro on my ipod g5 worked really well and was easy to use. Problem is I did not have the right kinda hookups. I need two 1/4 plugs that converted to one 1/8 mini jack. so i had one 1/4 to 1/8 mini and they gave me a great sounding feed but it's only on the left as in the left ear. i downloaded to to itunes. actually it did it as soon as i pluged the ipod in. i did nothing. the sound guys said i should be able to split to right and left with something like garageband software. i impoted into GB and now i still have the great sound coming out of my left speaker and nothing on the right unless i choose mono 1 or mono 2.
    my question is how do i split this and make the recording come out of both speakers? the file in garageband has 2 wave zigzag lines. one on top of the other. i'm sure there's a way but so far i've not found an easy fix on apple garageband support groups but i've not asked either. tonight i will have the right connections so will see how well a rock show records. last nights was an acoustic show with a guitar and vocal mic

    You can't really make a stereo file from a mono recording.
    Stereo needs two mic/2 channels in the recording phase. The best you can do is set the track to mono so it comes from both speakers, or create fake stereo by using two tracks and offsetting one of them slightly and panning each track to the side some. It won't be stereo, there will be no center, just Left and right

    I recently discovered, due to the lack of saxaphone solo's while listening to DMB, that one side of my speakers doesn't work. No sound comes from the right speaker, resulting in loss basically half of a song. The left side works fine, but zero sound comes from the right. Suggestions?

  • 0404 USB Random Noises Coming From Left Input

    Hi,
    I've had my 0404 for a year. Everything's been fine until recently. Now the left input jack always has signal coming in even when nothing is plugged in. It makes the clipping indicator is constantly flashing red. And enabling direct monitoring reveals a very harsh noise.
    I'm running on Mac OSX 10.5. But i've tried on a different Windows computer and I've tried with different USB cables with no success. I've also tried with different software including the bundled software. I'm running the very latest drivers and firmware downloaded from Emu's website.
    Any solutions?

    Boxed,
    The 0404 USB can work stand alone as a Pre Amp, as well as with a PC or MAC.
    Do you have this issue if it isn't connected to the PC?
    If you do you may want to contact technical support about getting an RMA.
