Got a problem with speakers!!!!

[Harkdawg]

Well the speaker system itself is ( ill just write everything i see on the box )

Creative

Cambridge SoundWorks SW320

There is 2 little speakers and a Subwoofer.

Now,today, suddenly those 2 little speakers started makeing this very low scratching noise once in a while. They make it like for a second or two then stop, then again after some time. The scratch lenghts and the time between scratches vary.

Is your cell phone or some other from of wireless device like a keyboard, mouse radio whatever some where near the speakers or the speaker cord ?

And did you buy anything new recently that's now located near your speakers ? [ this can be anyting from a TV to a new TL-light ]

[Harkdawg]

nope nothing new and nothing near em.

[gryphon]

When you turn up the volume of the pc-speakers, is the noise also amplified ?

[Harkdawg]

yes

[gryphon]

hmzl, that can be anything. From harddisk noice, to a wrong pluged in PCI card, bad drivers.. ..

Have you installed new hardware recently or software ?

Are your speakers near the monitor? You may want to move the speakers away from your monitor and see if the sounds stop.

[Duneguy]

that and if u got a mic, check it.. they can be it.... *points at his own chest* i was confused on a random noise every now and then....

[Harkdawg]

i was away from home a day, and now its all good again. Out of a thin air the problem came and just as that it went.

[Harkdawg]

awww crap, its doing it again. If i touch the wires then the sound comes also

[gryphon]

Could you check the wires for scratshes, holes, things like that.

I fyou have a headset or second pair of speakers could you connect them to your PC to see if it's your speakers of somethings else ?

[Harkdawg]

Wires seem ok. I think there my speakers, they have fallen down from my table several times :-

Better see if the warranty isnt out of date.

[Harkdawg]

i noticed something else also, even when i turn off speakers they still make the noise, and also my monitor is vibrateing, and when i listen monitor makes scratchy noise from the back, since my Speakers are standing on the monitor - could it be that my monitor is screwed and its affecting my speakers.

[Harkdawg]

Ok, i talked to someone about it, and he said its my monitor definately, sometihng to do with high voltage or sumthing. My sound system is ok, so ill be switching my monitor soon.

[Harkdawg]

LOL, nevermind with the monitor, monitor is ok 8)

Its the left speaker thats doing it. Right speaker is fine. It must be a shitty contact or sumthing.

[gryphon]

If you have a CRT monitor and not an LCD it is supposed to make a little bit of a scratshy noice at the back ;)

[Harkdawg]

I got to the bottom of this, it is my left speaker i plugged it out and all stopped. I let it stay out for few hours and ive plugged it back in, as for now it hasnt made anymore noise.

[gryphon]

let's hope it was just the speaker connector jiggled a bit out of place and it won't happen again. :)

I had a similar problem with my old computer. In fact, it was the left speaker. :O

Sometimes I could jiggle the cord around and it would stop for a while, but I never could fix it.

Is your computer an HP?
