Hooked it all up & sure enough, speakers were clicking! Well, after much moving around of the speakers, we figured out that the clicking is the loudest when it's next to the AT&T 2wire Gateway Uverse modem thingy. Couldn't get the emachine, they were already out! (was only 1 left yesterday). Well, we took the computer back to the store.
This or another model of Acer on another production line might not be having any issues and you just happened upon one. I would search the model you have and the model you are considering just to see if there is any chatter about a problem consistently or others having out of the box issues. There might have been a quality control problem in assembly and didn't get caught in production. If you like your new computer and everything else about it has been as good as you had hoped for, you could exchange it for another of the same model. If something isn't right in the usb you could have bigger issues later. If you are tempted to just keep it and use the old speakers, I think i would not do that. Less so than by something like a car manufacturer. Can't really say what is good by brand with computers. I've only had one Acer and it's not a good machine but that can happen, i don't know anyone else who doesn't love theirs. That really is a hassle, just as you get through the biggest part of the setup.Īcer is a decently good brand and I have the same opinion as Caliban about brands. It is new & I am still learning it.plus, I am not a pro by any stretch of the word! And I do NOT want to void any warranty!ĭarn it, it's in the computer. I do not plan on opening the tower or doing anything major to this computer. The only thing on this desk with this new computer is a Lexmark printer, a big Samsung CRT monitor, the keyboard, the mouse, the tower, and wired Uverse modem thingy (sorry, don't know what to call it.router?) Could any of that cause interference? The new set gets its power from the tower (it has a USB cable).
The only difference between the old speakers & the new Acer speakers is that the old set gets its power from an outlet. Later today, I will plug in the new speakers again and see what happens. Why the difference?Ĭurrently, I have our old set of speakers hooked into the new computer & they work.no clicking or anything. Anyway, speakers work perfectly fine on that computer.
To test, I plugged the speakers into our old computer, which is in the living room (new computer is in kitchen), but it's about the same distance from the cordless phone. There is a cordless phone about 15-20 feet 's plugged in, but we never use the phone anymore since we no longer have home phone service - could that be the culprit?
I tried moving a cell phone further away from computer - clicking remained.
