Intresting observation...

[phalkon30]

I was watching a movie I borrowed from a friend, on my computer. My computer has the line out to an aux in on a 70's era stereo, which I run to 4 large speakers in my room

Well, after the movie, I noticed some noise, probably because I had it turned up quite a bit for the movie, when I maximized a window from the tray, it made a sound like an 80's arcade game, I'd try to make the sound in text....but I'd look even stupider than I allready do, but it sounds like a "blrueeep" or minimizing a "bloooop", just think of some kind of pacman/space invader type sound

Anyway, it does this scrolling also, only it sounds like a noisy hard drive and somebody moving the pin on a record player

I'm also hearing a buzz when I move the mouse, and a constant noise in the background like a helecopter over a CB radio

This isn't a big deal really, I never have it up this loud, but its strange, the refersh rate of the monitor has no effect, but when it flashes off when changing modes, the sound goes away, so I know its got to be noise from my monitor

While I'm on the topic, at 1280x1024x32 @75hz, with lots of changing text, like search results in kazaa, there is a mind twisting high pitched noise coming from the monitor, could this be related? I'm hoping maybe there's an easy fix for the interference, but I doubt it

This all started happening with my new video card, my tnt2 never had a problem with it

One thing I forgot to add with my stereo, one side keeps cutting out, it sorta "fuzzes" out, it crackles, then goes away, leaving a faint bass line at times

I had the same problem, it was cause my cheap mouse. I bought a new mouse and no more problem

Well I've got a Microsoft wheel mouse optical, its not a cheap mouse, its not a particularily expensive one, its sorta inbetween, and in this case I really doubt thats it, but thanks for the suggestion

This is very common. You have an unshielded soundcard inside the same metal box as lots of noisy, high current, high speed electronics.

if you want high signal to noise ratio sound from a puter you have to use an expensive professional soundcard or use digital out to a seperate ADC.

The channel loss problem probably means the amp in your stereo is on the way out. Plug some different speaker into the puter to work out if it is the puter or the stereo.

Ok, that wouldn't surprise me, its an onboard soundcard, asus, never had a problem with it, sounds pretty good, but figured there had to be a drawback somewhere

I was sorta thinking the amp was on its way out to, my dad thinks we may be able to dust off some stuff and fix a ground leak problem to solve it, but we'll see

Thanks for the help
