PC speakers popping

vinnieboy

my speakers often make a popping sound, either when i change websites or just generally. i turn the volume right down, but surley this isnt right? i spoke to the pc manufactures, they claim nothing wrong! (of couse what else would they say!) I have downloaded all updates, to no avail.

Any ideas?

Hi
Are you using a surge protected mains lead?

I used to get annoying clicks and pops through my speakers until I got a surge protected extention lead.

Hope this helps.

You have not got a mobile phone close by have you

woo

could also be the motherboard interfereing with the sound processor, i have this issue at work.

But that is if the sound card is part of the motherboard.

I hvent a clue what is causing it, it's the odd time, but sometimes its constant.

Yes i have a surge protector, (just recently but was doing it before) and no moby phone near speakers. Good point about the motherboard, but u think the manufactures would suss this out b4 manufacture wouldnt u? Of course thats in an ideal world, which we dont live in.

Quote the manufacturer and any relevant details. You are not helping the forum members or your self by keeping them a secret. Have you tried muting unused audio inputs in your mixer application.
