loud static noise!

My computer is constantly making a loud static/rushing/electronic interference noise, all the time apart from when I play a CD using the Windows CD player - but if I try and play a CD using Windows Media Player I still get the noise, and the CD volume is so quiet you cannot hear it over the interference!

Any suggestions? I have a USB broadband modem and the problem started shortly after I installed this. I only have integral sound that came with the motherboard, I don't have a soundcard.

Any help welcome!

There's nothing funny going on in the devices manager...

The modem is still installed. I do actually have 2 modems, could that have anything to do with it? I have the USB modem for my broadband connection but I still have an internal dial up modem installed (as I am such an optimist, in case my broadband fails!)
