An audio "hiss" starts and stops in my iMac for no reason?
While I am working in FINDER dragging jpeg files or pages files, my SPEAKERS come on frequently and produce a "hiss." The "hiss" lasts from 10 seconds to 90 seconds.
NOTE: the VOLUME CONTROL has no effect on the quiet "hiss." I raise and lower the VOLUME and the "hiss" volume remains the same.
When I turn DICTATION on , the "hiss" sound begins immediately, I also noticed that DICTATION no longer works? The bouncing microphone icon is showing a signal is being heard, but no text is being added as I speak.
While DICTATION is on, the "hiss" soon stops. And when I turn DICTATION off, the "hiss" sound immediately STARTS again and lasts maybe 30 seconds.
I just opened FINDER and it caused the "hiss" to begin. It lasted 20 seconds. Then I highlighted a jpeg file, and the "hiss" started again. Nice, huh? Rebooting does not solve this problem.
Can someone please help me help me get rid of this "hiss?"
Thanks,
