| | Are you close to a radio station's transmitter site and antenna? That sounds like "RFI" (Radio Frequency Interference" getting into your speaker system. When you get it, unplug the speakers from the PC but leave them powered on and the volume up and see if you still get it. If you do it's RFI and the speaker system is picking it up or it's coming through the AC power line to the speakers. If this just started I would suspect either a bad cable ground or just a dirty plug connection somewhere in the system. |

| | EDIT: Does Firefox have a plugin named "Cool Previews" running, if so, disable it. If not Firefox it could possibly be a virus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like malware or virus of some type, run a Google search on: unwanted music playing From the couple of sites I looked at it seems to run from a non-windowed iexplore.exe (Internet Explorer) streaming music and ads. strange....
