Strange Sound Issue

[gwinegarden]

I just came across a very strange issue. I started hearing an occasional popping noise, in the speakers. So, I rebooted and then I had no sound whatsoever!

I, finally, shut down and restarted. The sound came back. I'm hoping that this was a one-off.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. But, I'm struggling to drop another £250 on-top of what I've already paid (even if it means saving money in the future. I know, crazy, right?)

go for it! one slip and fall and SOL. if you bought on amex card they extend the warranty a year but for accidental damage.

i hear you hard earned CASH but pennywise in my book.

Over the years, I am down a lot of money on unused service plans or extended warranties.

Not sure what device you have, but assuming it's a Surface 2 or Pro 2, your warranty should be good for a while (bought my 2 at launch and it's good until Jan 2015). If the problem hasn't become a serious issue by then, I doubt it would after that.

I'd agree with this. The year-plus automatic warranty that comes with the Surface should be enough time to see any hardware issues. The primary advantage of the additional MS Complete warranty is actually the accidental damage portion.

I've never damaged or broken a consumer electronic (knock on wood). Only things I've had break on me were Xbox 360's. I keep my S2 in a big case. Besides, if anything happens to it out of warranty, that'll be 2015 and I'll want something newer anyway!

I had something similar today with my 1st gen SP - a weird background noise, very disconcerting until I realised it was the soundtrack from today's Bing Halloween image!
