GMan,
No problem for the delay. I been real busy myself, unpacking boxes,
putting up shelves, fixing circuit breaker tripping range hood, and backing up
kitchen drain, etc.
Here's the latest; while shifting computer from card table to office
desk (post carpet install), I found various assortment of cat chewings on one
of
the speaker cords. I suspect the cord will have to be cut and sliced. It's
disconnected now, but I don't have any idea if this could have caused a problem
(ground?) I tested again, while playing a WAV file on my HD, and swapping the
remaining jack to each plug in the rear of the computer. No success.
Can a set of Walkman type of headsets work? Either way, I'll go get
headsets tomorrow and run the tests you and Mike recommend.
The carpet is great. I think it's couristan (sp?) She's very happy with
it, so I'm overjoyed.
Thanks,
HB
