Re: [emax] high pitched whine

From my experience, your power supply may be going.  Try opening the unit up
and check to see if the capacitors are bulging on the power supply.  My
EmaxSE did this for a few months right before it kicked the bucket
(fortunately there are replacement power supplies available out there now).
