What the hell?

Whenever I get my mail notification sound, just after I hear a static pop... for lack of a better term.

I've written apple and no response.

Any ideas?

PB 17"
OS X 10.2.6 w/ security update.

Also, keepsoundon is running but no effect.

I hear that pop BEFORE the sound effect. Usually only with the first sound after awaking from sleep... And on both of my Macs (see below). Thought it was a RAM issue on the iMac, but the PowerBook is maxed out. I now assume it's an OS X thing.

i think the was a problem with 10.2.4, and fixed slightly with 10.2.6, there are quite a number of posts regarding "pops" from the Pb17

Funny, it didnt' start until after I dowloaded and installed the "security" fix.

Was fine before.

You might have the dreaded "Powerbook making sound hardware go to sleep" problem. This used to happen to me, and was very very annoying. I downloaded a program from versiontracker.com called KeepSoundAwake and fixed it. Maybe thats what you need.

Yep, I've had this problem for quite some time now. Seems to happen after having several days of uptime and sleeping my PB. My AGP graphics machine doesn't have the problem though... I was hoping it was the OS but it seems to be hardware.
