    external altec lansing speakers keep making high Pitched Noise

    Thats easy to determine if the speakers are causing it or the hard drive is generating the noise, power off the speakers and see if the hard drive's noise goes away.

    I would suspect its the hard drive.

    Yes the Hdd makes the high Pitched sound when the speakers are disconnected but not as loud as the speakers make it.It might just be my cheap speakers ?And my HDD

    I would call HP and get the drive replaced under warranty. I've had "cheap" OEM drives that were noisy and it won't get any better.

    As far as the speakers, it's whether you want to put up with the noise or not.

    I had the same problem


    I had the same problem. My wifi transmitter was too close to the speaker on the floor. When I moved it away the drumming stopped.

I have an Altec-Lansing speakers ACS40 and subwoofer ACS250 system that came with a Gateway 2000 PC that I purchased in 1995. And has worked with every computer I'ved used since, the last having XP Home Edition. However they do not seem to work with my new Dell with WIN7. Any advice?

I've just re-loaded Win7 and all is well - except. The system sound is very low - all other sounds are okay - I've done everything that I can think of, updated software checked the adjustment for communications, adjusted everything I can think of. I seem to recall that I had this problem last...
Okay. In my HP-Pavilion dv5000 (dv5201) it has Altec Lansing speakers, and I can't find any drivers. I had to clean install 7 because my sister isn't smart, and installed Mandriva over XP. I don't even know it's model, because Win7 doesn't recognise it. I installed all but the language updates,...
Still got my old Altec Lansings from the last millenium. They still sound awesome. I bargained with Dell when I bought my first ever PC and they upgraded the speakers to get the sale. So glad I managed to squeeze that one last deal out of them, these speakers sound great and have served me well...
