Question about your PC and headphones

Does anybody else hear the computer doing shit when you have your headphones on, like little buzzing and beeps? If i minimize the window, it goes somthing like "bzzzahnnkk"

The only sounds my computer makes are the occasional hard drive whuzzing and a click when I open a folder.

Your computer is getting too loud. Also, your components are beginning to pick up noise (because of said loudness) and because they're potentially shitty. And old.

I recommend fire. And lots of it!

But don't tell your parents I said that.

BBQ.

Edit: Hmm, BBQ isn't entirely out of context here, either...

Laptop or desktop?

Laptops are particularly bad about this due to the proximity of all the components. This is usually why an external interface (breakout box) is used for any audio work.

On a desktop, integrated sound may also be susceptible to interference due to the controller being on the motherboard.

I don't know how much you'll be able to eliminate the noise, though. =(

Try tightening a few screws

Google "ground loop isolator". That should do the trick if you find one with the connections you need.

If you're soundcard has not already gone to the dogs, its prolly because soundcard/headphone/main-board has some electrical leak that may give you such a noise. Try changing the soundcard/headphone/main-board and/or other parts one by one

Try disabling (or muting) Microphone, Line-In etc devices. They can cause inteference sometimes.

I get a little bit of a static noise when I scroll down a window, but that's about it. I'm still using an old Soundblaster Audigy soundcard.

Integrated certainly causes this.

I never got it when I had my EMU 0404, but now that I use onboard sound, I get buzzes and such when scrolling or processing stuff and the like.
