Default stopping "pop" in new set up?

Turn the speakers on after the computer is finished making all of its
rude noises. I have a sequenced power strip that has a few outlets that
come on as soon as I switch the power on, a few that come on about 10
seconds later, and the ones that the power amplifier for the monitors
are plugged in comes on 30 seconds later.

I got mine at a hamfest for about $5, but they're pretty expensive
normally. You're better off just getting a cheap switched power strip,
plug the speakers into that, and turn them off before you shut down the
computer, and then, when you boot up the computer and start playing some
audio and don't hear anything, you'll remember to switch on the speakers.
