Hi, here is my problem. Since the last 2 days, i get a noisy sound from my speakers. Sometimes it's only one second, other times it continues. It's not a problem with my speakers, because i tested it also with my headphone and the problem leasts. It occurs in windows, when i don't do anything, but also in games, or when playing music. When i start something up, it dissapears, but after a while i get it again. I really don't know what the problem is. I haven't installed new drivers or something else. Can somebody help me plz?

You have to be a lot a more specific, what does the sound sound like?
Is it only when the computer is idle?
what programs do you usually have running?
what kind of speakers/sound card do you have?

Sort of reaching here, but I had intermittent noises a while back. Found it to be a faulty jack (wires connected to it) They were shorting every once in a while causing the noise. So .... check that something hasn't radically kinked the wires in some way, or damaged the connectors. Might even be if the jack is loose.
