After months of no noise, today there is a constant raspy sound coming out
of my speakers. It goes away when I close Win2000, but starts again when I
open it again. I've got the running processes down to a minimum, but with
no desktop programs running, the noise is always there now. It's loud
enough to spoil any music I have playing.
Part of the noise is rhythmic and if I open up the Task Manager and watch
the CPU Usage History graph, I can see/hear the rhythm at each tick of the
graph. Moving the mouse also causes buzzes. What's driving me nuts is that
this wasn't happening yesterday. But it seems that the motherboard and/or
the cpu(when Win2000 is open) are creating the sounds.
Does this make sense? And what could I have done or changed to allow this
noise to happen.
Check to see if you moved any wires, and that everything is fully
plugged in.
Open up the volume control panel (usually by double-clicking the speaker
icon in the start bar) and make certain any unused inputs are set at
normal levels or muted. Some program you used may have set the volume
full blast on something.
Double-check your speaker's own volume controls to see that somebody
didn't turn it way up, and compensate by turning down the master or wave
volume settings in Windows. Typically, most of the Windows settings
should be set to 50%, and you set your speaker's own volume to a normal
setting. You can then fine tune things from there.
