Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Bigpup, it's a floor-standing tower computer, and I'm using headphones with 3.5mm stereo jack, plugged into a socket on the front.

I edit WAVs with mhWaveEdit, and convert them to mp3 files. My first guess was that I'd broken another pair of cheap headphones (the cables usually break after a year ...

It's an eMachines E350 10.1 inch Netbook (Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz, 1GB, 250GB disk , Webcam, Win 7 Starter) and as you say, from circa 2010. The brand became Acer later, I think.
