Here I am sitting at my computer working with only word and outlook open and low and behold I hear someonetalking on a walkie talkie. It sounds like it's coming directly from my speakers but by the time I reach to hear the volume on my speakers the sound has already faded away. Then a few seconds later I hear it again. It sounds like when you can only receive one station on a 2 way radio and you can only hear part of the conversation because the other station is out of range. Anyway, after I hear it the second time I check behind my computer, under, over, beside, etc... No walkie talkie near me. The third and final time I hear it again and am able to adjust my volume in time to hear it is in fact coming from my speakers. I have no idea what made this come out of my speakers. I really had no programs that used the speakers aside from a few error sounds or new mail sound. It was really wierd.
 
Might be an amatuer radio operator (ham) nearby. My dad is a Ham radio operator, and I remember growing up with all the neighbors complaining about him interfereing with their tvs and radios, telephones too.
 
Any Ham Radio operators in your aria?

I'm inclined to believe that the shielding on your wires isn't very good. If someone in your aria is using a Ham Radio it is common to pick up the signal on electronic devices that are poorly shielded.

Option 2. See the dentist.

Option 3. Does the voice match the little voices in your head?
 
Get an RF adapter and wrap it around your speaker out line coming off your PC.

Should solve your problem.

dude the same thing sorta happend to me once i fot some walkie talkies for christmass al ong time ago and i took them over to my friends house and we were using them and i herd some people talking and i thought it was another radio thing or somitn just interfiring but then i heard it agian and we looked for like an hour around hs neighrhood and nobody had any radios on or any thing so we gave up and his friend called to his house and said come over so we did and they got a supernintendo for his birthday and we played it for a wile and i showed him the walkie talkies and he turned them on and said they dont work and i go dont work what do u mean and he goes they dont work i can only hear my self talking so i go well they were working awile ago so later we left and turned them on will i was leving and my friend said wait u hear that and we went back into the house and we said say somithing when we leave so we leave and he said hello and we heard it we heard everything they were saying just because the had the nintendo on how do i know that it was the nintendo ? i know because we heard his dad said i wanna watch tv and the kid said ok and ill turn off my nintendo and we couldnt hear hm again the whole day. WOW that hurt to type:madface:
 
As much as that hurt you to type; it hurt the rest of us to read.

I don't know how old you are, but you need to learn what punctuation is. You also need to learn something about grammar.

If you had used either one of the above properly, we might have been able to get something interesting or even useful out of your post. In its current form, it is simply a long list of words.

If you are going to take the time to make a nice long post, why not make it a good quality one that everyone can read, enjoy, and understand?

This was not meant to be harsh. Just some food for thought.
 
Why does that not surprise me? He must be one of your cousins or something...I know he's from Oregon.

LMAO, Thats too funny! Very true though.

Not to mention he used the word AND, 23 times.

Sky, my guess it is TraxxasFreak. I bet he was sitting in the same room with him as he typed that mess.

Sky also check out both profiles, both claim to have a firebird r/c plane.
 
Not Traxxass freak This is My Friend From Beaverton I was just pointing out that I can read it not saying that you can.. No Traxxass freak Has many Pieces of a firebird Because He can't fly too well
 
so why does it matter if we own firebirds??.Well so if you dont like my post dont read and dont criticize my post just because your boyfriend broke up with you!
 
NCNitro...figured you'd find that humorous.

Maxxcrazy88...you've been told about this stuff before. Now you see an example of why we do not find the stuff you and your cousin produce to be interesting.

KoRnKiD...when you decide to grow up, write with some kind of skill, and figure out what it is we are criticizing, perhaps you will see what the problem is. I read your post to find out if there was something interesting in it. What I found, to my utter horror, was an abhorrant use of the English language produced by an apparent idiot that could not type to save his life. I was sincerely disappointed in what I read, and I tried to point the problem out. If you did not like criticism, perhaps you should give some thought to my suggestions. You might find that fewer people criticise what you have to say.

El Pirata...beauty is in the eye of the beholder :D

Sky you are much nicer than I would have been. I just think he is an ignorant little kid whos parents should ban him from using a computer, and make him study, at least a little.

KornKid, there is a book you can find at school, you do go to school don't you? Kind of hard to tell from your posts, but anyway it's called a dictionary, you might want to take a look at one.

Personally I don't care what R/Cs you guys have, it was just a similarity in your profiles I found interesting, along with your equally preposterous use of the english language.

here try this web site.

Sorry to disappoint you NCNitro. Believe me I had a much more harsh response in mind (after reading his reply), but thought better of beating on an ignorant simpleton of a child. Some day he will grow up and realize that good speaking/writing skills help in a great many ways. Until then, I guess we'll just paint a bullseye on him and use him for target practice.
:trout:
 
And no one has attacked you as yet. I simply pointed something out to you. Guess people in your part of the country lack in reading comprehension skills in addition to poor grammar.

I'll put it in plain English. Maxxcrazy88, I was directing my posts at KoRnKiD. I addressed you to let you know that KoRnKiD was a good example of what we did not (notice past tense) like about what you and your cousin used to do.

If you want to discuss this any further, PM or AIM me.
