| 10:49 | <@ErikMesoy> | Switching heaphones makes my IRC client disconnect and reconnect to every server. Interesting. |
| 10:57 | <@TheWatcher> | O.o |
| 11:03 | | Kindamoody is now known as Kindamoody|out |
| 11:04 | <@ErikMesoy> | It's done it before, I'd forgotten about it due to kluge of leaving headphones plugged in so long. Computers, man, wtf goes on inside them. |
| 11:09 | <@TheWatcher> | Work of Satan, I tell you! |
| 11:17 | < Emmy> | magic smoke |
| 11:17 | < Emmy> | better not let it escape! |
| 11:47 | <&[R]> | What OS ErikMesoy? |
| 11:48 | <@ErikMesoy> | Windows 10 Home |
| 11:52 | <&[R]> | Weird |
| 11:55 | <@TheWatcher> | your computer is haunted, obv. |
| 11:58 | <~Vorntastic> | What kind of headphones is this |
| 12:30 | < catalyst> | network sabotaging headphones |
| 12:34 | <@ErikMesoy> | Vorntastic: the old kind with a pink mic connector and a green ears connector, the brand label has eroded off |
| 12:36 | <~Vorntastic> | So, electrical problems |
| 12:36 | <@ErikMesoy> | How do you figure? |
| 12:48 | <&ToxicFrog> | Vorntastic: some soundcards have detection for the analog jacks so that stuff can happen in software in response to (e.g.) headphones being plugged or unplugged, so I wouldn't rule out software |
| 13:05 | <&[R]> | Windows' shipped soundcard drivers have been pretty free of that braindamage for a while, from my experience |
| 13:05 | <&[R]> | As much as I want to bitch out Windows, I'm leaning on hardware issues too |
| 13:07 | <~Vorntastic> | A change in physical connections causing a network drop? Sounds like something's shorting or something, causing errors that the connection can't recover. |
| 13:11 | | * [R] remembers using the soundcard drivers a mobo shipped with once, they had the lovely trait of reseting all the volume levels to default whenever a device was plugged in (not unplugged). Default had master volume set to 0. |
| 13:21 | < Emmy> | At least it's not my bluetooth headphones |
| 13:22 | < Emmy> | which have the lovely trait of switching to default volume when switching to the handsfree modus for mic input |
| 13:22 | < Emmy> | ...which happens to be 100% |
| 13:22 | < Emmy> | so many hurt ears T.T |
| 13:57 | <~Vorntastic> | ;_; |
| 13:57 | | Kindamoody|out is now known as Kindamoody |
| 14:30 | <@gnolam> | I mean, headphones are inductive loads (even if weak ones). It's not unthinkable that a voltage spike when disconnecting them could interfere with another component. |
| 14:32 | <@gnolam> | I still have no explanation for the hands-off reset on my first Pentium though. After a couple of years, it developed a quirk that if you moved your hands in the air next to it at a certain spot, it would suddenly reset. Like some kind of binary theremin. |

| 17:21 | < Yossarian> | I have a question but judging from my time here and the language used in the topic, I don't think this is a similiar case. |
| 17:22 | < Yossarian> | If I suggested someone was "Aww, you're no fun. You probably skipped lunch like me." would I be considered a dick and would you guys kick me? |
| 17:24 | < Yossarian> | <&ToxicFrog> Vorntastic: some soundcards have detection for the analog jacks so that stuff can happen in software in response to (e.g.) headphones being plugged or unplugged, so I wouldn't rule out software |
| 17:24 | < Yossarian> | I thought that was a function of the jack itself? |
| 17:50 | <&ToxicFrog> | What do you mean by "the jack itself"? |
| 17:57 | <&[R]> | The hole |
| 18:01 | <~Vornicus> | the jack is part of whatever sound card you're using. which most of the time is just whatever is on your motherboard but whatever |
| 18:18 | <&ToxicFrog> | Yeah, I'm not clear what Yossarian means by talking about "the jack" as distinct from the sound hardware it's connected to. |
| 18:18 | <&ToxicFrog> | I mean, I'm pretty sure there do exist tape decks and stuff where plugging in headphones disables the builtin speakers in a purely analog fashion via relays or something, but that's not how modern (read: for the past 20+ years) soundcards work. |
| 18:25 | < Yossarian> | <&[R]> The hole |
| 18:25 | < Yossarian> | Precisely. I thought it was an electro-mechanical switch within the 3.5mm female |
| 18:26 | < Yossarian> | <@gnolam> I still have no explanation for the hands-off reset on my first Pentium though. After a couple of years, it developed a quirk that if you moved your hands in the air next to it at a certain spot, it would suddenly reset. Like some kind of binary theremin. |
| 18:26 | < Yossarian> | Interesting 'feature' |
| 19:16 | < Yossarian> | <&ToxicFrog> I mean, I'm pretty sure there do exist tape decks and stuff where plugging in headphones disables the builtin speakers in a purely analog fashion via relays or something, but that's not how modern (read: for the past 20+ years) soundcards work. |
| 19:17 | < Yossarian> | How does it work? I always thought the 3.5mm jack itself detected plugging in, I think they make 3.5mm jacks with no headphone/speaker just to mute your system. |
| 19:33 | < Yossarian> | A male 3.5mm plug I mean. |
| 19:34 | <&[R]> | https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/95575/how-does-the-phone-detect-if-3-5-mm-jack-circuit-is-closed |
| 19:35 | <&[R]> | There's a few ways to do it it seems |
| 19:35 | < Yossarian> | Yeah, my understanding I think Thinkpad X200 and later use extra contacts in the female audio jack but I could be wrong. |
