    windows 7 buzing sound?


    I have a gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P motherboard with a built in sound card on it which is HD, but for quite sometime i have a constant buzzing sound through my speakers. This only happens on windows 7. I have had windows vista and it doesn't do this? Why? I have updated to latest drivers and it still doesn't fix the problem. I have Logic tech X 240 2.1 speakers connected to my rig? Can anyone help me out. I posted a similar thread a while back when windows 7 was in beta, but no one ever fix the problem??

    Could be an Earth loop, are your speaker cables running across any cables that carry electric? If so try moving them it might be that. I had a similar problem and that was my cause so I just moved the cables and problem fixed.

    bad shielding, poor transformer in the speakers, It seems to be common in the lower end logitech speakers i have the same problem with some recently bought Logitech X-210 for a customer, as steve has said just fiddle with cables and positioning.

    I fiddle with cables and positioning of the speakers today and i still have a buzzing sound, any other tips you can give me? I noticed when i had my computer off i could hear the buzzing sound, so i not sure its windows 7 anymore. No worries though my speakers are under warranty and they are sending me new ones. I think logitech is going to start being one of my favorite companys!

    It's not Windows. You have 60 Hz hum which is a ground issue. 1st try headphones in the same port that you plug you speakers in and see if the buzz is still there. If so, you could have a wire grounded in your case, a component could be degrading, or you have dirty power supplying your PC. If it goes away with your headphones you have a bad plug on your speaker cable or you have a component degrading within your speakers power supply. If you have an UPS plug your pc into it. That will clean up your dirty power is that is the issue. Try turning off lights, fans anything in your room running on the same AC circuit and see if that affects the buzz any. Alot of times another device using AC can cause a ground loop and make a hum come through speakers. It just happened to me this weekend with a coffee pot.
