I have a problem with unpleasant noises [brrr/grrr/] coming from my speakers whenever I'm listening to music and the processor is working over about 20%. If I am listening to streaming music from the net, U Tube for instance, just scrolling down the page can cause the problem. Listening to music is important to me and I cant put up with this noise any longer. Would adding a sound card fix things, or is there some other solution to the problem?	Vince (406)

Done any driver updates, added any new equipment, changed setting someplace, tuned on a microphone which wasn't on before, moved speakers and getting feedback from something ? Could also be the speakers, the wiring in the speakers, try the front audio port see what happens, try different speakers, unplug speakers and replace with head phones, see if its still happens --- the list can go on and on ------ Wouldn't go wasting money on a sound card yet, you need to locate the source of the problem first. With the posting problem could also be malware related, which can have an effect on the audio as well -- Seen ( heard) one customer getting odd voices at random times and sounds, she thought she was going insane -- Removed the malware and the voices stopped ;)	wainuitech (129)

1402199	2015-06-07 11:58:00	The problem is old ("I cant put up with this noise any longer.") says that. My machine is clean, it has been scanned many times by every antimalware with a good reputation. Your guessing is less helpful than informed experience.	Vince (406)
1402200	2015-06-07 21:20:00	Did you install the sound drivers or are you using the drivers windows installed? If you installed them uninstall them Sometimes, audio drivers can be buggy and can cause probs	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1402201	2015-06-07 21:22:00	Your guessing is less helpful than informed experience. Well aren't you the smart one then. If you knew what you were doing you would know that sometimes a sound fault can be caused by MANY different things, part of computer fault finding is sometime a process of elimination to rule out whats not causing it. it can be anything from Hardware problems , drivers to outside interference. What I put was NOT guessing, its Fact from experience over many years. The problem is old ("I cant put up with this noise any longer.") says that. AGAIN useless description -- how old is Old ? to some two-three days is old, others it could be months. Good luck since you want to be spoon fed.	wainuitech (129)
1402202	2015-06-07 23:06:00	Your guessing is less helpful than informed experience. Since no one here has your machine in front of them, and therefore CANNOT do any actual fault finding/diag on it ........ :-)	1101 (13337)
1402203	2015-06-08 03:38:00	Wow, what a bloody rude response to one of our most experienced and helpful people here. Let him work it out himself.	linw (53)
1402204	2015-06-08 06:03:00	I had a machine that picked up digital noise on the analog output, if you know what digital data sounds like it's fairly obvious when that's the case. I used an external USB sound card to attempt to fix it and the noise reduced greatly but didn't go away completely. There are two issues when you get interference, 1. something is broadcasting noise (all PC's do but in varying degrees) and 2. the sound card is picking it up. If you have the option to use a digital output like sound over HDMI or a SPDIF coax or optical out that'll remove any analog noise and is the best way for music. Depends what speakers you are using though, and as Wainui pointed out the speakers or the amp used could be causing or contributing to the issue. Nobody can guarantee a fix based on 2nd hand information, we will all be guessing to some degree. A bit more information like type of speakers and connection used might help also, or at least plug the speakers into something else to prove they can play noise free music when not connected to the pc - like a phone or ipod or something. Me I use a 20W T-amp and wharfedale bookshelf speakers off the 3.5mm analog output of my PC and it sounds awesome :) no noise at all and only onboard sound.	dugimodo (138)
