Painful Noises in Headphones
Hello,
I have a problem with using headphones on my computer.
When I listen with headphones (any kind of headphones; I've tried four different pairs), when no music is playing, I hear random noises. Sometime they're brief click-sounding things; sometimes they are high-pitched painful drones; sometimes they are lower-frequency buzzing; sometimes they almost sound like scrapes on old vinyl. They're sometimes quiet, but sometimes--especially the high-pitched ones--a little louder. The weird thing is, it doesn't really matter what volume I have the speakers ( Realtek High Definition) on--the volume of my speakers does not seem to affect the noises. However, sometimes the noises are quiet; sometimes they are loud (even the same sounding noise).
What often happens is, I'll be listening to music, or watching a video, and, after the song/video is over, or when I pause it, one of the noises will begin in my headphones. In consequence, I'll press play, and then very quickly press pause, on the song/video. The sound might still be there; the sound might have changed; it may be completely silent. I often have to do this, after listening to or pausing a song; I'll have to play and pause it until there is no sound in the headphones.
Overall, the sounds are very annoying--and can sometimes be painful.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can fix it?!
I am using an MSI A6200-021US laptop, with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit.
It's all stock hardware; I haven't replaced or changed anything.
Here are some of the possibly pertinent specs:
