Staticy noise

Hello

I have had this problem for a while. I can always hear a static noise through my headset/speakers, which ever is plugged in. I noticed today my PC Speaker was unmuted and on full volume. I turned it right down and muted it but this only lowered the noise. How can I totally get rid of this annoying noise?

Thanks alot :)

Double-click the yellow 'Volume' icon in your systray (bottom right of screen) then go to Options - Properties and tick all the boxes in Playback and Recording to track down the source.
You might have the same problem as you did for PC Speaker. The Microphone or Line-In settings might be too high.

If you're getting static noise through both your headset and speakers, then it could be a bad connection on your sound card. Are you sure you're plugging into the right connector? There are sometimes two... Line Out and Speaker Out.
