i have a fairly old "fatboy" model ps2, it still loads games perfectly, save for the thinner, cheaper dvds. in which case i have to put tape around the inner edge of the disc so it will spin it.
when certain sounds are played, a high frequency sqeak sound is played through my speakers. which is usually much louder than the games regular volume.
IE, the sound of ice/rocks breaking in star ocean, or certain spells/skills in KH1, and so far (only 20 minutes into the game =\) once in KH2 when roxas's keyblade materialized for the first time.
i have a fairly decent sound system, and i have it ran through a cheap 20$ vcr from walmart. I bring this up beacuse it is possible that this is the problem.
however in my huge library of games, star ocean was the only one it had done it to, until i got kingdom hearts 1&2 anyways, it was ALOT louder in star ocean though. to the point it almost popped your ears even at low volume.
this leads me to believe there is some sort of problem somewhere in the way i have it all hooked up, or a partially broken peice of hardware.
problem is, everything appears to be working just fine >_>
ill try and sum it all up, I have my dish network reciever, xbox, and ps2 all ran through the same VCR. which is ran by a standard coax cable to my television. from there the audio is split to my sound system via red/white auidio cables (i forget the proper name)
the squeak noise is loud enough that it is clear that it is not supposed to be there, and its extremely distracting to boot.
anyone got any ideas on what this could be,
