hoop3r Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hey all,The problem is, when my speakers are not being used they give off a fast buzzing (sounds like a machine gun) noise and when music or sound is played, it becomes muffled.I have tried plugging speakers into my computer but it also happens through them.is it a possible problem with the sound card? Please help,THANKS B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 There's nothing wrong with the pc. That buzzing is due to faulty power filtration of the speakers. Usually a capacitor in the power unit of the speakers is either dry or dead. Any local electronic service shop will get them fixed in no-time.

trickytwista Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 its also possible that it could be a driver issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoop3r Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have just replaced the speakers with some different ones and the same noise is happening...Anyy other advice as to what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 If the buzzing sound is still there, maybe trickytwista was right... Update your drivers and see what happens.@trickytwista Maybe you were right after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickytwista Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 dunno but it does seems like its a dodgy driver from what i read. made any changes recently or has it always done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntoMX Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Do you have onboard sound? Else I would say replace that sound card. It could be the connector but it sounds more like your speakers blew up your sound chip with a discharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 just plug the speakers into a cd player or mp3 player, that way you can rule out the computer being at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoop3r Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 i just tested out my speakers with my ipod and they r fine so that must mean that my sound card needs replacing right?Thanks for all the help guys! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 what sound cards do both of the computer have? and are you using the latest drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Are the speakers and the computer plugged into the same outlet (or preferably, through the same surge suppressor)? This buzzing may be caused by something known as a "ground loop", i.e. the voltage levels between outlets vary slightly that there is a constant current through the speaker cable at rest.

Aegis Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Check if your "Line-In" is muted. If it is, unmute it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
