    Music distorts when using wireless mouse


    hello
    for years i've been using a wired mouse
    decided to try using a wireless mouse today
    i like it but there's one prob
    my music (playing via winamp) distorts when i'm using said wireless mouse
    i don't really know what's causing what
    maybe it has to do with the mouse?
    since i've never experienced music distortion with a wired mouse before

    Off the top of my head, not surprising.

    The wireless mouse has some sort of transmitter in it. Those signals apparently are interfering with music playback.

    I've noticed certain things like that, even with a wired mouse. For instance, mouse clicks sometimes are audible on my radio when the mouse is near the radio.

    If your trial and error experiments convince you that there is a connection, you have to decide if the wireless advantage is worth it. There may be some wireless mice that are worse than others in that respect--I've never used one personally.

    Another thing similar happens to me, when I put my hand on my 3.5 plug, somehow my hand transfers radio broadcasts to my speakers.

    day 4
    the distortion is gone
    actually i had no prob with music playback several hours after using said wireless mouse
    maybe my laptop was just adjusting to the mouse?
    idk
    but it's fixed now
    thanks for the input :)
