What is up with my sound?

Spudguy · 01-03-2006

Hi,
Whenever i log onto windows, strage noises come from my speakers. sometimes they are squeaky (like when i use the mouse whell to scroll down) others they are static, or high pitched noises. it is not my speakers, as the same happens with other speakers and headphones.

But the REALLY wierd thing is, it seems to come on and off. like, everything has been fine since late november, but yesterday, the sound started playning up again. wheras all of september and november it was like this!!

howdy spudguy..
This problem would seem to indicate a bad connection inside your pc, or more likely a bad wire being shorted out.

Try messing with the wires while playing some music, and see if it goes normal or not. then we know its the wires connected to the pc.

Welcome to PCHF Spudguy..

Are you currently using any USB devices?

If so try disconnecting them in the meantime and see whether you still experience the problem.

You can also do the following to try resolve the problem:

Run a Scandisk and Defrag on your hard drive
Download and run Regclean to clear out any unwanted entries - http://www.majorgeeks.com/download458.html
Clear out your Temp files.

My suggestions may sound strange but I have experienced similar problems and it has sometimes related to software/malware.

Are you talking about a sort of scratchy/popping noise when audio plays? i had this problem and fixed it using a Latency Tool

You think thats wierd, sometimes i get some random bursts of static and then some random loud pops. It doesnt realy do anything however...

But, now this is spookey, when my pc is turned off, completly off, my speakers will then emit some random voices (i recognised it as german) which i think is interferance from a radio station.
