Hi guys,

I use a Plantronics USB headset/mic for online racing, and almost from the time I've gotten it (as a gift) when I use Teamspeex, it emits a loud HUM whenever I push to talk. Naturally, this isn't good. It also started acting up in iChat as well. Now, when I plugged it in last night, I got a message on the screen saying "USB Alert, the device you plugged in is drawing too much current, the port will be disabled". So, I guess what I'm asking is, is this thing shot? I'm running 10.3.9 on a dual 2.0ghz G5 tower, no mods or anything like that, very plain vanilla.

I've tried plugging it into every other USB port I have, and no dice. Although, once in a GREAT while it will work with no troubles. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom
