Connecting speakers to PC

[Unknown]

What's more, using your analogy plugging and unplugging anything in a USB
would damage the USB circuits.

Yes, there is a "small" chance to damage the speakers. But, there is
also a chance to damage the speaker out jack and the sound card. The
audio cable has power and this power is just enough to possibly send a
"power spike" (too much power) or a "power brownout" (too little
power.) These "fluctuations" can be enough to "burn" the sound card
audio processor / jack.

Baloney yourself. I have worked on a PC where the unplugging /
plugging of the speaker jack "burnt" the sound card. Whenever a
"powered" device (powered speakers) there is a small chance that the
power / ground is not correct.

I suggest you go back and read the posts so that you learn who posted what.

Timmy has had a real problem with that. At first he was always
replying to the wrong post. I think he's mastered that advanced skill
for the moment.

But the old boy still has unresolved problems.

 

[Unknown]

Tis a shame he hasn't learned. I believe he has been notified of his
erroneous ways a number of times.

 

[Unknown]

He has a BIG problem there. He should completely ignore PCButts.
Filing abuse reports seems to be useless.

Those abuse reports are useless because it is not me.

Don't worry, it's well known who/how to report buttsy, buttsy.

Nevertheless, in this particular instance I'm not wrong. Unless there have
been two people using the name "Unknown" in this thread "Unknown" did say:

"Yes, there is a "small" chance........The audio cable has power and....."

...so please stop trying to bait me. I don't like pointless arguing over
minutiae. But, despite what PC Butts says - truth is truth, and nothing
but.


Here is "Unknown's" post in it's entirety.:

No, I did not sat, type or post that. Go back and re-read the threads.

 

[Tim Meddick]

YOU go back and re-read the bloody threads - if someone else has been
imitating you then I guess I could be wrong, but I can bloody read - and

....anyone can read it - it's only 16 posts before this one.

So what's your explination for what's written there Mr Unknown
(e-mail address removed)?

Stop posting idiotic denials and plainly tell us if you did not write it,
who did?

All I wrote was "Baloney" Like I said go back and read the threads and
you'll see. (Read the posts before mine)

 

[Unknown]

Go and read the post by 'smlunatic' on 5/25/09 at 11:54am. Nobody imitated
me. Your computer screwed up?

 

[Tim Meddick]

Whatever newsreader you have forgot to place the chevrons that denote that
dialogue is part of the original post! That is the convention: that the
original parts of a post are marked with a character, like mine has,
whatever is not marked as such is taken to be the words of the poster.
Otherwise it gets confusing. I just know you're going to disagree.

The chevrons were on my post when I sent it.

Tim Meddick pounded out on the keyboard:

Tim,

Regardless of what happened when he replied with "Baloney", he didn't
write the paragraph you're quoting.
