Speaker problems, constant hiss emanating from a 2.1 setup.

SeanSpade · 08-26-2009, 11:21 PM

When I turn the Windows Volume up to higher than 55-60 I can hear crackling, and hissing to the point of headaches because of how annoying it is, unless I am playing a film, DVD, etc. When I scroll with the mouse, it gets louder, as if there was a response from the mouse movement.

The speakers are USB, and also the green audio jack. I have used different configurations concerning the USB ports used, in order to determine if that was it. I have installed many different drivers (although there are none for Windows 7 x64, but this problem was also apparent with the same PC running Windows Vista x86 and x64)

I have googled to no end, and now, when I play Oblivion (so far I have tested this game) it is so subtle, yet annoying as it becomes more than a hiss, and within 10 minutes, everyone in the room had a headache during the game. Seriously, that kind of subliminal.

I know this is not an easy fix, but if someone knows one, please let me know. Here is the information usually required.

I have a 2.1 Philips Ambx speaker system (the starter kit), running Windows 7 x64. My PC is as follows.

Asus P6T
Core i7
Onboard Audio, and Network
12 GB RAM
Wireless Mouse, and Keyboard, manufactured by Gateway
BD-R Drive, and 3 Hard Drives, all powered by an 850 Watt Thermaltake.
