Kind of a follow-up on my previous thread. I am messing around with my audio settings just mostly for fun and since I had no equalizer preset on. I went into the Cutoff Frequency in the Low Shelf Filter and I heard that for iPods it is best to set this to 20. Well I scrolled up to 20 and must have slipped or something and it went back down to the bottom to 22040hz and I hit ok. Well now my headphones give out a pretty nice deafening screech out of the left ear. I think I blew them. I think a warning somewhere would be a good idea. Also is there anything else that I should not go near? I'm not really pissed I just think this is pretty comical that I blew my first speaker
*EDIT* Scratch this whole thing, something in my settings must be doing this, movie playback is fine and doesn't deliver an ear piercing sound.
*EDIT* I wiped the config files again and it works fine. If other people agree, my suggestion would be to put a warning or something when editing the equalizer properties cuz my ear is still ringing from this episode. At least I still have headphones.
