Hi,

I have a 24" LED cinema display hooked up to a quad 2.66 Mac Pro. Whenever I load Windows 7, there is a single 'pop' sound that comes from the cinema display's speakers. It occurs right after choosing the windows partition in the boot menu. Also, it doesnt occur if I disconnect the cinema display's USB cable. However, this sometimes causes Windows not to recognize the monitor.

This sound never happens when loading the OSX partition.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any solution to this? Thanks in advance!

Forgive me, but I don't understand why this is such a problem?

Yes mine does exactly the same thing. But I don't think that it is serious problem.

When in doubt, blame Windows!

dude, this isn't a problem
In my experience with windows, that pop sound would be caused by windows loading up the sound driver for the display and activating the speakers. When activating, sometimes there is a pop, try turning on you home stereo without a small pop
