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.

Hmmm, nothing bad there....just one part of the modem setup still appearing.....did you take the modem out of the machine or is it still there? In the device manager, is there anything listed under 'other devices' or with an exclamation mark?
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!)
I'd give it a try....if it doesn't help, you can always pop it back in.
