strange chirping sound even when muted

jaybell

even when all outputs are muted, i get a stranged and intermittent chirp from the speakers. as though a gate is opening and closing. when i pull the input from the amp, chirping stops. When i pull the input from the Driverack, chirp continues. so i know its the driverack 260.
sometimes i also get as whiring sound from the driverack when i run the GUI.
ie start the GUI, whirring starts. close the GUI program and whirring stops.

Have you tried a hard reset yet? Is the unit out of warranty? If you want to try the hard reset (software rest to factory default) make sure you back up any changes to the user presets as they will be lost.

I can't find how to do a master reset.
I saved everything I could find on the driveware GUI.
How do reset the system?

In the event that a reset is required, the DriveRack™ 260 offers you the option of performing a “Soft� or “Hard� reset.
The Soft Reset resets all operating parameters except user programs. The Hard Reset Procedure will reset all programmable
information back to the factory defaults.
All Power-Up Functions require a button(s) to be pressed and held as the unit power is turned on.

copies of the Factory Programs, all Utility settings will be defaulted, and all Security settings

Jaybell,

Laptop?
Does it have a built-in mic?
Is it on?
Check the audio settings and mute the mic, if it is on.
