Speakers crackle and pop
Hello,
I have a kind of a weird problem..
My speakers make crackling, cracking and poping sounds in 2 cases:
1. Electric switch near my room is being turned on or off (I mean room light switch..)
2. PC is being turned on.
At my bathroom I have a florecent light.. So before it turnes on, it "blinks" typically and then stables..
While it "blinks" my speakers make this crackle sound that matches the light "blinking".
At the rooms near my room, when light is turned on, it just pops once or twice and thats it..
When my PC is turned on:
When I press the power button it will make a pop sound of the speakers once and then as windows loades up it will make a poping sound a few more times.
My speakers work fine. It just makes these noises and its weird..
I cant remember when it started.. But long ago..
I own 2.1 Microlab speakers and I connect them to the PC via a generic external USB sound card (the cheapest Ebay ones..)
I have a new MOBO and I want to connect my speakers to it and I am afraid that it may damage the MOBO or the 3.5mm port..
Thank you.
