Tech Tip

I have fairly old external speakers for my desktop computer, but they're fine for my needs.  I tend not to listen to music all that much, mainly the Cubs games, and other manner of talking.  So, high fidelity is a low concern.

The other day I was getting a bit of static, so I fumbled around with cord and got that to disappear, though there was a slight, low hum.  It wasn't heard when sound was coming from the speakers, though a bit annoying when they were on but just sitting.  No big deal turning the speakers on and off -- though it was more inconvenient than should be the case, and also the sound has been somewhat low lately.  I figured that it might simply be the case of an old pair of speakers on their last round-up.  Nonetheless, today I dove back under my desk to play around with the cords again, just in case I could fix things..

Thanks my technical expertise, I figured out the problem.  When I had been futzing around with the cords a few days earlier the time before...I hadn't plugged the cord back in all the way.

I have now done so.  And all works well..

Which brings us to today's tech tip.  "Make sure to insert your plugs in all the way."

You're welcome.
