Whistling issue in speakers Solved

Question

Hello,

As mentioned in the title, I have a continuous humming in my speakers whether the volume is high or low.
I tried connecting my speakers to my old PC to see if the issue was with them, but the problem persists regardless.

Here is my setup:

Motherboard P5NT WS
Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Graphics Card BFG Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT OC2
2x1Go Corsair Memory
Power Supply Antec True power quattro 850W
Case Antec P182
Windows XP with all service packs including SP3.

If anyone knows where the problem might be coming from, it would help me a lot.

P.S.: I should add that the sound driver is up to date.

Configuration: Windows XP SP3 Firefox 3.0

Don't stress out by rebooting your PC, the problem doesn't come from there.

Steps to follow:

-Control Panel
-Sound

Click on Speaker, then click on Configure at the bottom left

Click on Quadraphonic, click Next, click Next, click Finish, and finally click OK.

There you go.

(A thank you is always appreciated). Headless Chiken

Hi, does the whistling happen on both PCs? -- Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. Windows XP SP2, AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 3800+, 2GB of RAM, BFG 8800GT OC2 512MB, Asus M2N-X

lu  I tried to see if the issue came from my speakers by connecting them to my old PC, but it doesn't change anything; the problem still persists.  "the problem still persists" -> what does that mean?  If the speakers are still making noise on the other PC, it’s the speakers’ fault…

click on the speaker icon at the bottom right, and mute everything that is not mandatory: microphone, line in, CD-ROM, etc.

Do you have any electronic device around or too close to the speakers that might cause interference?

Hello
you didn't connect your speakers to the audio input, did you, and not the output?

if your connection is good, your problem could be on the sound card side!

but also from the hardware, when something is running in your PC
HDD, or fan! etc!

Hello everyone, I also have the same problem with an Asus Striker Extreme motherboard, my PC is connected to a home theater amplifier via optical and it is constantly buzzing, I don't know why. I'm on Windows XP. If someone could help me that would be cool, thanks.

Hello,

Same quite annoying issue. Nothing to do with the configs, it's a story of interference it seems: For me, it's on a laptop. Laptop on battery, no buzzing. I plug in the adapter and the buzzing appears.

Crap solution: If we use the laptop's power instead of the amplifier's, the buzzing is covered (high volume on the laptop, low on the amp). In terms of quality, I'd prefer to use the amplifier's power, that's its job...

If anyone has a trick to avoid interference...

My gear:
- XPS 1330M stock
- Monster jack-RCA cable
- Cambridge A300 amplifier
- Jamo E370 speakers

high PC volume = 100% = no sound loss

you need to set the PC volume to the max and THEN adjust the power of the speakers, not the other way around.

Otherwise, no, there isn't a specific technique or ultimate solution for that.

Hello,

I’m sorry to revive an old post, but I found a solution to this problem that affected me too. I realized that when I was in my BIOS or playing a game, there was no whistling (basically whistling only under Windows). So simply installing a new Windows did the trick, and now everything works fine. I hope I’ve helped quite a few people because I think I'm in a good position to know how annoying that whistling sound is :s so there you go!!!!!
