USB-Powered Speakers
- by Jonathan Sampson
I use a set of external USB speakers at the office which have no power-source other than my laptop USB port. Sometimes they're silent, and at others it sounds like an electric moth is fluttering around inside one of the speakers (the main speaker). This doesn't happen when my machine is doing any heavy crunching, it just comes and goes.
This has happened with other USB speakers on other laptops too in my experience. Any idea on what causes this, and how I can fix it?
