Hello there,
could somebody out there help me out with this problem?
Here's what I know:
every couple minutes my external speakers generate this harsh tinny static. the static varies in intensity but typically lasts for 2-6 seconds. Even with audio muted out this distortion still occurs, but at a much fainter volume. Switching to the on-board soundcard (SigmaTel?), this crackling seems to vanish. My speakers and external soundcard worked fine on a previous system (windows xp, if that is relevant).
What's the way to troubleshoot this? It's a persistent problem and hope to leave this fuzz behind me
SYSTEM:

speakers (Yorkville YSM5) connected thru a Tascam US-122L
happy to supply additional info
Thanks
