Static sound, possibly causes music to skip

ethereal · 09-19-2005, 11:31 PM

I haven't really had a problem with this until after I moved, when I had to set up (plug in) my computer again. Even with no windows open, there is a faint, static, scratchy kind of sound. This wouldn't be so bad, but I'm wondering if it's affecting my music players. Any kind of player I use, any kind of song, when it plays music, it will skip pretty frequently. Anyone care to clue me in? If you need more info, just ask... I'm not sure what you need to know.

Make sure all yout wires are plugged in all the way. Also check to make sure your mic is not on..

I checked all of the cables, but they look fine to me...

Do you have something plugged into the audio input jack?

cell phones near a comp can cause odd noises to come out of the comp.

This is going to sound really stupid... but I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

Well... on your sound jacks, there probably is a "line-in" jack, along with microphone and output jacks. Usually the line-in jack is colored blue...

Yeah, I checked, and it's plugged in the right spot. But it not only happens with my speakers; it happens when I have headphones plugged in as well.
