For quite some time now I have been experiencing a crackling/buzzing noise coming from my speakers which I did not experience when I first got my pc, it has occurred consistently on two pairs of speakers (both brand new) and this noise occurs when any process is loading be it a streaming video, a loading webpage or a downloading torrent file. It is becoming quite annoying and I have already tried several methods including defragmenting my files and checking the BIOS settings but to no avail and now I’m completely clueless as to what to do next. Please help, Thanks.

are the speakers powered or not? if the speakers arent powered it may be that there is electrical noise comeing from some where. could be a powersuply to close to the wire or phone to close stuff like that. could try uisng a ferite core i think its called to getrid of the problem. i dont know if they work but it worth a try. if they are powered it may be something that you have recently bought and put pluged into the wall. so a mobile phone charger and so on. i had a problem with a fridge. every time the compressor switched on i got a click from the speakers. i dont know but i suspect these networks that run through the mains would also contribute to this problem another thing to look at is the volume settings you may have to juggle the main volume and the wav volume try one high other low if the speakers are powered it may be an idea to turn the volume on the computer sound card up full then use the speakers volume to quiet it down. or you might have a case of conectors that have tarnished. in this case get some metholated spirits and wet the jack. and wet slightly dont want it dripping just slightly clinging to the jack. then put it in and rotate it round bit like you would a sound nob. then turn the power on and turn the sound up and play something at full folume through the sound card and again give it a rotation. if you have powered speakers for this last stage dont turn the power on. save your ears and the speakers .if not only play for say 10 seconds or however long it takes for you to rotate it a few times. and dont play anything with too much bass. the theory is you are getting the muck thats built up on the conectory by first cleaning it with meths then blasting high power through it so that you in the end get a better contact inside. all text needs typos. There there for the reader to find,to distract them from the total lack of content. google it! wasnt the answer to the question i asked so dont be dense and give me that repl

if you have a soundcard, remove it from the PCI slot and clean the contacts with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol and reseat it. See if that helps Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!

If you have powered speakers, try turning the speaker volume down and the software volume up (or in rare cases, vice versa). This sometimes helps the signal-to-noise ratio, depending on where the interference is coming from. ...some other bloke...
