Sound Interference

[Zaei]

Whenever I click, or type a key, or whatever, I get a bit of static in my headphones/speakers. Something interfering? Any idea how to fix it?

Is it onboard sound?

But of course...

Actually, it only seems to happen in Winamp... so I just went and used the CD player that comes with Win2k... and it works fine...

Make sure the CD's audio cable (if you used one) or ribbon cables arent running too close to a power cable. Look especially for it coming near a fan, the power cable for the motherboard.

Also, sometimes hard drive interference can come from having them on the same IDE channel. Move it to its own channel if you can.

Winamp tends to pick up the more hidden parts of songs better, part of its DSP. Helps you hear those little hidden bits of a song you never noticed before. That little bit of interference looks pretty similar to winamp

I thought I mentioned the fact that it only happens while I was typing or clicking my mouse? =P.

It was just winamp being ****e with CDs (which is why it isnt supposed to be associated with CDs...like Winamp cares what I want...)
