I know for fact it's not on the sound card on my radio desk computer, and 
there's only an AC cord going in to them and the CD leads are so short once 
they get in there I can't work with them if I try. I just chock it up to 
junk speakers but as long as I don't forget and leave them on over night, I 
don't have any problem with them. I tune them out now but if I'm in bed, 
they're across the room and it will get my attention if I"m half asleep, the 
dog doesn't like it then either. He sleeps next to my bed.
