Title: Loud screeching sound
Post by: Lisa Neilson on July 18, 2004, 09:38:42 AM

I really hope someone can help me with this. Its driving me crazy.  For the longest time on my computer, Ive been hearing this horrible loud high pitched screeching noise coming from my speakers whenever I play Mp3's. If I continue playing music, it will happen every 20 minutes or so, and  I have to restart the song/movie over. I bought new speakers, but it solved nothing. People tell me it might be something with my sound card. I have no idea what I can do to fix this,  please someone help!

I suggest you uninstall old drivers and install the latest ones.

If that does not have any effect, try replacing your soundcard.

Just donot post twice, it will only bring about negative response.

I suggest you scan the software removal list in Windows to see if there is any indication of Soundcard software.

If there is not, I suggest you either download the latest drivers or install the drivers that came with your soundcard. (Usually on a CD)
