| 106243 | 2002-12-15 06:56:00 | Whenever I move a window about on the screen in Win XP home ed. I can hear a very low buzzing sound coming through my speakers. It seems too quiet to be intentional like some kind of irritating feature of XP. I have to have the speakers set quite loud to hear it but I still notice it every so often and it is very annoying. I want to put an end to it. Any ideas as to the cause and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. |

| 106247 | 2002-12-15 11:33:00 | Do you have a late version of Zone Alarm installed? That caused a problem when it conflicted with a vxd on my PC with symptoms like you describe. Had to uninstall and flush out all traces of ZA from my system to fix this problem. | Danger (287) | ||
| 106248 | 2002-12-16 06:53:00 | Yeah I have an integrated via AC'97 (I am planning to get an audigy or similar later on) and it's not zonealarm. I installed that later As for the rearranging the cables. The cords not tangled with anything else. moving it had no effect. |

| 106249 | 2002-12-16 07:29:00 | Check to see if your soundcard is sharing an irq with another device - this is often the cause of disturbances in the audio. | wuppo (41) | ||
| 106250 | 2006-07-29 12:44:00 | I found that this exact problem was caused by the CD to soundcard cable. Took it out and suddenly no problem! (never played CD's on my PC anyway) |
