I post to this forum, because I want to analyze this phenomenon with the aid of those who may understand the various nuances of scientific theory, by which such a thing could occur. I do not feel that posting to a forum dedicated to audio/video would yield quality results.
This matter relies on several details, without which, your understanding may well suffer a deficit; such is not my intention. Please read this post in full before replying, despite any verbosity which you think may detract from your enjoyment.
The phenomenon:
A set of speakers play back a discernible audio signal (I’m not talking about any sort of static; see video below), regardless as to whether or not the input plug is inserted into an output jack. The volume control included with the speakers is irrelevant, as actuating it has absolutely no effect on the signal. It can be shown that the volume control works, external to this phenomenon.
The only method by which this play back can be terminated, is to unplug the speakers from a power source. This phenomenon occurs without regard to any certain power outlet; as three outlets have been tested that are affected. Those are a grounded outlet in the kitchen, a grounded outlet in my bedroom, and an ungrounded outlet in my bedroom.
I have lived in three apartment complexes within a one third of a mile stretch on the same road. These speakers have never manifested this phenomenon prior to being plugged in at the most recent complex.
This phenomenon could not be reproduced using a much less powerful, and much less expensive, average pair of speakers.
I can show that the volume switch works, using the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony:
Here.
I can show that play back occurs even with the volume all the way down, and the input unplugged.
Here.
Here is a faithful example of the audio; unhindered by narration. The volume is all the way down, and input unplugged.
Here.
I have a higher quality version of each video; if that may be relevant to anyone. I also have videos showing that the speakers exhibited this phenomenon while they were plugged into different outlets. I may be coaxed to gather the speakers together, with all the cords, to show that they are truly not plugged into anything. I have not had time to undertake such.
