    Angry screeeeeeeeeech

    ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I'm really getting pissed off...

    When I'm listening to music, or playing a game, or anything that involves sound, there is this horrible screeeching noise... I don't think it's my sound card, 'cause if I just wind the MP3 back a few seconds, it works fine....

    but this is getting really annoying

    I've posted about this before, but didn't get any answers... A friend of mine says it could be 'cause my sound card is located too close to my video card... if I don't get any other suggestions I'll try moving it, but I don't wanna take this POS apart if I don't have to....


    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Happens to me sometimes when playing MP3's. Not sure what causes it.

    In addition to moving the analog sound card, maybe move the speakers and/or the cables.

    I'm working on a ThinkPad 600 right now, and you can hear the noise on the left speaker every time the hard drive spins. It sits right over the drive.

    But hey, its a laptop, so I'm not worried about sound quality.

    Ah, then it is at the source. I guess try moving the sound card.

    I honestly don't expect much from that, but try it.

    Is the card sitter correctly, try lifting the lid and pushing the card down, sometimes when they heat up they get lose OMG...that could be taken an entirely different way

    So if er you have push it in and still get the problem, move it to another slot Just can't get a single meaning this morning Not even trying and this is heading for the gutter
