Buzz from speakers!!!

[applethin]

So I purchased a new pc from cyberpc some time ago. i always had this buzz problem with my old speakers but i figured it was because they were old and they weren't very loud. Then I bought new speakers and noticed the problem stayed. In fact, the new speaker emit this noise so loudly I can't even use the computer with sound on anymore. The tech guy from cyberpc insists that its the grounding. I tried plugging the pc into diff outlets around the apartment but that noise doesn't go away. I was wondering if someone here might have a different answer? or could this whole apartment be ungrounded? whatever that means. Please help!

Have you tried moving the speakers to a different spot? grounding could be one cause, but so could interference (poorly shielded power cables in the wall, radio interference, etc)

if i connect the ipod to the same speakers with the charger plugged in, there's no noise

Don't have your phone near the speakers do you? My speakers make weird noises when my phone rings or gets a text.

Something like zee zee ze / da daaaa da (semi-serious)

That maybe?

And if its not the above - is the sound more prominent when doing something that requires CPU use.

For example, running a game, or scrolling with the mouse wheel in a browser.

My speakers have a bad habit of playing Russian radio if the volume button isn't at least on ~35% Doesn't matter how much the computer volume is set to though. I usually have my speakers at 40% to avoid listening to crappy Russian radio and control the volume through my computer...

No. This noise continues even when my cellphone is off and I don't live next to a giant cell tower or anything.

Yes. When I have starcraft running the noise becomes louder. Although that doesn't happen on deus ex. It's really weird. Also it sometimes gets louder briefly when I open a new window or something

I managed to quiet it down by turning down the speakers own volume control. PC volume control has no effect on this noise. I can still hear it too well when I'm playing games tho. sigh
