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.

:ditto: 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.
