Hi,

I have a set of Edifier R1580MB sound system plugged on a Focusrite Scarllet 2i2 which is plugged on my computer.
When I turn on the computer, or when the computer comes back from "sleep mode", the sound system makes a kind of "pop".
Is this harming the Edifier sound, or the Focusrite somehow?
Is it ok for this to happen?
It doesn't disturb me, but I get worried if it's damaging anything.

I honestly cant guarantee it cant do anything harmful, but my speakers always do that when the power to them gets switched on, and they're at least 18 years old now. In fact Ive been rearranging power cabling etc for a couple of days, and have probably caused that to happen 30-40 times in that period.

Yep, totally normal. On my PC's Logitech speakers, it's so harsh though that I always turn them off when I turn off my computer, so I don't get a massive BANG when I turn on my computer...

My nearfield monitors from JBL have a delay when you turn them on for that purpose.

Thank you, I was thinking there might be something wrong with my configuration.

So, I pretend to buy a Yamaha Hs5, if I plug it the same way I do with the Edifier, and if it pops, it's still ok then... Then it's fine

Friends Yamaha HS80's pop. My MSP5Studio's pop.
Dont put them on before computer is on, and put them off before shutting down computer. I hate the pop.

I usually turn my 2i2 volume to 9 hour when I turn off my laptop. That said, I stopped using the 2i2, because it has no volume indication. Which is
crazy, when one considers mixing at fixed levels.

I was going to say just this. The pop isn't dangerous per se, but a loud enough bang can damage your ears, thus it's best to avoid it whenever possible.

Turn off your speakers when you're booting up to prevent damage.

Are you turning your computer on and off really quickly? No, so just remember to avoid the pops however possible(delayed turning on)

Thank you, but once we are already here in this nice weather and clearly pleasant conversation... What do you think about letting the Audio monitors turned on the whole day?
I mean, not turning it off at night. Does it damages it somehow not giving it a rest turned off? (I'm not saying playing music all the time, just turned on without playing lol) And about the computer, between turning off or putting sleep mode or letting it on... Is there a more correct practice?

I mean, is it bad to turn the computer off and on many times a day? (Not very quickly, but many times a day). Does sleeping mode really saves a lot of energy?

As I understand, it is mainly bad for the hard disks, but I always turn off the PC.

Sound system "pops" when computer turns on - that's ok?
