All new equipment and same old problem
Many weeks ago I started having sound problems on my desktop system. All sound ( including DVD's) would occasionally stop completely, or sound like there was a short in the wires (off/on, off/on in a rapid-fire, staccato-like manner). Time passed, and the problem worsened. My desktop was getting a lot of age on it, and had several "issues," so I bought a shiny new HP desktop. After connecting everything, the problem was unchanged. So I thought "Aha! I must have a bad speaker and/or bad wires." So I bought a set of shiny new speakers from Radio Shack. Now I have all new equipment and the SAME old problem, except it's getting worse.
Any advice would be appreciated.
