This is the best I can do. Every time the video goes quite, consider that the droning.

If you have speakers that actually give off some bass, you will be able to hear the drone.
Just double checking, but you have ALL of your resonators in place right?

it's tought to hear from the cpu speakers but I'll play the video from another cpu later. Either way RPi stands by their products, and since you've contacted Eloy I'm sure things will get taken care of in due time. Don't worry yourself to death, I personally know the fellas from RPi and they're standup guys. RPI is not the type of company out to make a quick buck. Plus they have an excellent reputation!

I think the guy is trying to figure it out before calling RPI since is may be possible that it can be a simple fix with an install problem. this is a forum, questions are asked and some may get answered. All I've noticed, is people bashing newbies lately.
true. i admit im a noob and ive tried to search for stuff. i type certain things in and read 10 pages and dont find the answer so i get feed up and re ask a question. it takes 10 seconds to answer my questions because they are typically pretty easy and like gene stated have been answered before. not everyone can be as all knowing as praisethelowered but we are trying and you were in our shoes at one point. people like frank, gene, john have been really helpful with some of my questions. others but not all put me down in some sort of way or repeat smart ass comments made weeks ago. it gets old and people should move on. i love this forum and spend a lot of time asking questions, trying to answer questions, offering opinions, and trying to lighten the mood sometimes too! The kid is 16, he needs to be cut more slack than any of us. Hes been driving for how many months? and you expect him to freak out when hes driving a 30-50 thousand dollar car.

with all that said, cant we all just get along?

I couldn't hear the drone through CPU speakers. I plugged in earphones and heard DRONE.

Damn, you car sounds like a freaking motorboat. Yuck! I feel your pain. This almost blew out the sub in my Logitech speakers.

Yup, this definitely needs to get fixed.
