Is this a laptop or a desktop machine? Usually, this sort of interference/noise is caused by bad grounding. Verify that the speaker connector if fully inserted into the speaker jack. Good luck!

Are these USB-powered speakers? All kinds of interference typically comes through on those. Your only real choice is to get better speakers. If they are NOT USB-powered, you might see if the A/C plug is not keyed and can be inserted the other way.

This is especially true of low-end USB speakers. Very good advice....

Been there, done that. That is why I ditched the stuff provided and put a set of Logitechs in my office. When I crank it up (for the occasional bad day), I hear nothing but sweet, soothing METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOOAH!!! and the occasional Beethoven, too.

I can ask, but unfortunately I am 99% certain I would not be allowed to do that.

I have to admit, in my office, I am the boss so it is all good [😎

Good luck, just double check all of your connections and try to move any electrical lines, radios, and other transmitters (like cell phones) away from the speakers in the meantime.

Can also be caused by placing a GSM phone near the speakers.

Another possibility is the incorrect driver. I know on my Dell laptop that the speakers popped until I got the correct driver installed. The other thing to try is if this is a desktop, try the speakers on another system.

Drivers for what? The audio device (a.k.a. sound card)?

 

[runswindows95]

Yes. If the incorrect sound driver is installed, the speakers will click.
