Speaker Static
My speakers make static noise when something loud is played. I don't mean loud like ear bursting loud. This started happening randomly today. It's very annoying when trying to watch a video on youtube. Do you think this is a case of speaker failure or something more serious? I hope it's just my speakers because I can just easily replace them. I don't have an extra pair of speakers to test the sound.
Also, the static doesn't happen all the time. If I don't play anything for a bit and resume a video, it goes back to normal.
Here's what I know so far about the problem:
- Doesn't happen in XP, only happens in Win 7 x64
- Can play a loud game like Modern Warfare 2 and no static, but static starts when a youtube video is played
- Static only occurs when CPU usage is at 50% or more
- The higher the CPU usage, the louder the static is
- Problem persists after a clean install
