OK, I went to play Fallout again, and I've got a strange problem- namely a high pitched buzz from the case on transition screens. GOG version, FIXT, high rez. Tried old HD and SSD, speakers off.
Is it some weird thing with the case speaker since it's such an old game? Anyone know how to disable it?

And?
You've been visited by a spooky ghost of PC gaming past.
So it still happens when you have the speakers off?
That's fuckin' spoopy m8

Well, that ruled out a hard drive mechanism making the sound.
Like a faint dentists drill.

That's why I'm wondering if such an old game is trying to use the internal speaker, the one that beeps on startup.
But it's a pain in the ass to get to the jumper for it, so I thought I'd endure the shitposting and ask here first.
Thats spoopky af

Coil whine from your GPU. Turn on something to measure FPS, i bet it shoots up into the thousands whenever it makes that noise.
Force V-Sync to fix it
coil whine is the first thing that springs to mind
I get it randomly when alt-tabbing some older games
Check the dipstick.

It's probably coil whine from your videocard. This happens when framerates are high or GPU just under heavy load. It's annoying but perfectly normal. Some videocards have it more than others It case of fallout it's probably just high framerate. Try forcing vsync.

It's not THAT old.
Look like it was the coil whine- it was shooting up on the transitions but nowhere else
Cheers
Probably GPU coil whine, as some anons said. Check your fps and GPU temps, as sometimes an fps in the thousands can potentially damage your GPU.
Try the gain

I'm sorry OP, but you are left with no other choice than to install gentoo. God help you.
