    Static / Popping from PC Speakers

    I have a Dell Dimension XPS R400 with an Altec Lansing ACS Dolby Pro-Logic Speaker System, which has a small subwoofer and two desktop surround type speakers. I cannot leave the speakers turned up because of an annoying popping / static sound that comes from them all the time. I've had this system a couple years, and this started a few weeks ago and hasn't stopped.

    Any troubleshooting ideas? I don't even know where to begin. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Greg

      Greg, my only guess is that computer components are typically noisy to begin with. You could try swappng your sound card into another PCI slot. Apperently some slots are noiser than others, Why it would have just shown up, I don't know.

      Certainly any PC I've ever heard has always been noisy and can not compare to audiophile equipment.

      If i turn up my volume on my new speakers now with nothing playing, I hear what seems to be static from the fans or Hard drives.

          by NicholasT
          I just purchased a Rotel RA-1062 integrated amp with the RCD-1072 CD player. I connected them to a pair of Pennaudio Rebel 2 speakers with Audioquest Type 4 speaker cable. I have all the components connected to a PS Audio Juice Bar outlet. I played a some CDs on the first day and it seemed to be...

          Out of thre blue I've got static and scratching sounds from the RR channel.

          Best part is that you don't even need to be in a mutli-channel mode. That's right - it even spits static when 2-channel bypass is selected.

          In multi-channel the RR output is reduced and the noise...

          Does firmware 2.26 really fix popping
          by maddog
          Hello,

          Rotel 1066 popping
          by hectic1
          I bought a 1066 a couple of weeks ago and noticed today that I have a popping coming from all of my speakers about every 3 seconds. I turned to volume all the way off and the popping is still there. I put my hand on the edge of the woofer on my SVS and you can feel the speaker move when popping! I purchased...
