Default UPDATE: OT Blue

Solved the sound problem on the PC.
I have never in my decades of experience seen this and I work in
electronics all my life.

I have external speakers plugged into the monitor as I said before.
As it turns out, the connector, eitehr plug or socket seems to be faulty.

Usually when there is a bad connection the sound would crackle or cut
out all together.

In this case I got no crackles or anything like that, just that the
volume significantly reduced to a whisper.

So wiggling the connector and in and out fixes the problem for a while.
The it happens again.
Maybe it is not really the connector but the electronics in the speakers.
They are powered, have volume and tone controls.
So maybe it fades and then removing and inserting the plug wakes up the
electronics in the speakers. This is a more likely scenario. Since the
sound on both stereo speakers fades to a whisper.

Look for a new set of speakers now.
Powered
Volume control
Tone control
Balance (maybe)
Good quality sound BUT CHEAP !

Suggestions please.
