  Creative Tracks Down "Squeal of Death"
Time: 13:44 EST/18:44 GMT | News Source: ExtremeTech | Posted By: Julien Jay

Executives at Creative Technology Ltd. said they believe they've isolated the so-called "squeal of death" associated with the company's Audigy sound cards, and that it's not tied to the sound card itself. The "squeal," which consists of a shrill tone caused by an audio loopback after a PC locks up, has been tied to a specific PCI bridge chip used in at least one motherboard from Soyo Computer Inc. The same squeal has also been tied to a PCI glitch in PCs manufactured by Dell Computer Corp., according to Steve Erickson, vice-president of audio development at Creative Labs, Fremont, Calif.
