Speakers and Headphones Screeching

Pantz Master · 10-31-2009, 12:25 AM

I broke my USB headset (The cord got ripped up) so I switched to analog speakers and headphones. However, they both emit a screeching sound when plugged in, and don't actually emit any sound the computer is outputting. I highly doubt my sound card is to blame because my USB headset worked fine yesterday. I have the latest sound drivers and everything. Any ideas?

Amplified speakers? Reverse the AC adapter in the wall socket.

No luck. I doubt that the AC adapter would be the problem because the headphones don't work either.

Try another headset or set of speakers. And it's possible the sound card is just bad. Since a USB headset doesn't use the actual sound card output.

I've tried 3 headphones and 2 speakers. I guess its the sound card. How do I fix it if its integrated?
