Otherwise I have no complaints about the new computer, though I was annoyed by a persistent hiss when the headphones were plugged in, especially with lower sounds. Cue an hour of playing around with the headphones, drivers, trying different mixers, and frustration.

Then in a moment of genius I decided to spray the headphone jack with the compressed air we got recently. Now, no hiss. It was dust in the jack. Duh.
