Hi.

Just purchased a new G5 2.3ghz. Seems to work great but there´s one small thing which i noticed...when starting up a DVD movie it makes a slightly noticable "bip" sound when the DVD player application is launched. So far i have not noticed this sound in any other tasks. Anyone know what it means? Anyone else got this sound?

Thanks!

I guess I know what you mean... my DVD drive makes the same sound. Probably some sort of calibration on the DVD medium?


Regards
PB.

Thank you for your reply

Been browsing through topics about this at the Apple support/discussion webpage and it seems like a rather "large" slew of PowerMac´s make beeping sounds. Mostly a "beep" every now and then but some seems to be very plagued. Guess i should consider myself lucky because so far i have only encountered it during the DVD startup and i´m not under the impression that this is something Apple considers to be a malfunction unless it´a very bad case. Anyone else can shed some light on this?
