MooDoo | evening all | 19:42 |
penguin42 | Hey MooDoo | 19:43 |
MooDoo | :) | 19:43 |
SuperEngineer | weeeee!....stubborn sound fault resolved! | 19:52 |
SuperEngineer | I had lost 1 channel of my externally powered stereo speakers... | 19:52 |
penguin42 | plug it in? | 19:52 |
SuperEngineer | nope! | 19:52 |
SuperEngineer | I ruled out software problem after findind same problem booting to ubuntu, ibuntu mate, solus and elementary [yes, I now have a quad boot sytem].. | 19:52 |
SuperEngineer | I tried headphones in the pc socket and both chaneels worked. Noe pc and s/w both ruled out... | 19:53 |
SuperEngineer | tonight I decided it was a speakere prob and was about to swap the failed set with usb + 3.5mm set from redundant "quarentine pc"... | 19:53 |
SuperEngineer | on physically removing primary of the externally powered speaker set something rather obvious was proved to be cause... | 19:54 |
SuperEngineer | the 2 core stereo cable connecting the 2 speakers came out with primary speaker, nothing attached.. | 19:54 |
SuperEngineer | the rodent tooth marks in the cable were pretty obvious, problem resolved. Not hardware, not software, but a RIF [rodent involed fault!] | 19:55 |
penguin42 | ah | 19:55 |
SuperEngineer | ...expect to see links to pics of dead rodent on this channel if the sod ever tries it again! | 19:55 |
SuperEngineer | Moral of this episode: don't always blame s/w as cause of fault... check ya hardware thotoughly | 19:57 |
SuperEngineer | ...and keep a baseball bat to hand [just in case] | 19:57 |
daftykins | little bit concerned how long the above went on :P | 22:47 |
penguin42 | well, it's obvious the rodent has just taken out SuperEngineer's net connection.... | 23:02 |
daftykins | :D knew he'd gone | 23:03 |
zmoylan-pi | he'll need to have insane reflexes to splat a rodent with a bat | 23:44 |
penguin42 | bat hit rat sat on hat? | 23:46 |
