[comp.sys.apple] //GS Sound Problems

nevar@pnet51.cts.com (Karsten Smelser) (07/06/89)

        I've been have an odd problem with the sound on my //GS.  Every time I
run a pre-written package, or write software of my own that takes advantage of
the Ensoniq chip, in any way, the sound changes to a clicking noise.

        My system consists of:

        //GS with 256k motherboard
        Version 01 ROM (new)
        2MB expanded memory
        3.5",
     MDIdeas Stereo Card
        PC Transporter (768k - in addition to the 2MB)
     2MB Seagate HD

        I've tried running various programs with different configurations of
cards installed - and with none.  But the problem STILL persists!

        Any ideas?

Any chance you have an Apple FAN in your system?  (The Apple fan induces
interference into the sound chip which will show up in your speaker(s).)
Try disconnecting ANY type of fan you have and see of your problem goes
away.  :)
