Solved: puzzling speaker problem
I bought some new Logitech speakers for a new build I've had them about 3 weeks everything was ok untill today the speakers are making a crackling noise not loud but I can hear it, when I scroll down a page I can hear it in the speakers, I've tried the speakers on my dell system and they work fine, I put the old speakers from the dell system on my new system and they work ok, the only thing I can think of is the new speakers have a normal 13 am plug where as my old dell speakers have AC adaptor, but as I say the new speakers work fine on my old system. any Idea

are u using a sound card or on board audio?

On board can sometimes pickup interference from other components in your system.

Als, adjust all the on board volume controls to about 80%, then leave them there and use the volume on the speakers.

if no volume control on the speakers, make sure windows volume control is around 80% then use media player or in game volume controls.

hope this helps...

i had the same problem with onboard sound. new soundcard and the problem was gone.

another time i had intermittent crackling which turned out to be something to do with a running process (everest temperature monitor).

But if it happens while scrolling, it's likely just MB component interference.

You can try updating the drivers. also try plugging into the front headphone jack if you have one, instead of the jack on back. Neither is likely to work, but it's worth a shot.

Also separate the audio cable as far as possible from the video and mouse cables from where they leave the back of the PC.

If the audio shielding is poor quality on the speaker cable, the noise from video and/or mouse signals will get in.
