Hi all!

I recently got the cool water speakers as a gift and since I don't have the original Apple Speakers from the G4, these matched up well enough and I could use the iMac as a spotify jukebox.

My issue however is when anything is plugged in to the headphone jack, there is static noise coming out of the speakers. I do notice that the staticness starts as soon as the Apple logo is gone and you are about to go to the desktop.

Anybody have this happen to them before? It's just annoying to have that sound in the background when nothing is playing. This is the original iMac G4 800MHz.

Thanks!
