Hi,
I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre with Linux Mint that I use to play music. Sometimes, when there’s supposed to be silence (because YouTube paused the video or something), this weird popping noise appears. It disappears whenever there’s music playing and even when I open the sound settings, but re-appears whenever there’s silence. The device is connected via aux cable to an amplifier. This happens on two separate devices.
I don’t know if it’s a Lenovo issue or a linux issue, but it’s quite annoying.
Is there anything electric near the cable that connects the amp and computer? Your video isn’t loading for me but the first thing i’d try to rule out is electronic interference. That usually sounds like popping on the line. By two separate devices do you mean different amps or different computers?
It’s just a black screen with sound, if that’s the issue. It’s just rhythmic popping, almost like a heart beat.
I don’t think so.
Both. Similar computers, different cords, amps, even buildings.
I listened to it on the computer since the video loaded there.
That does sound exactly like a heartbeat. Weird. I don’t have a clue what could cause that.
Have you thought about hiring an exorcist?
That might be my last resort.
