okies done all that, clean, checked, also i removed all cards etc from inside the pc base unit and cleaned all the inside of the unit (dusty) as well as all the connections i have given a rub up slightly and cleaned all fans of dust etc still same sound problem...however i have notice this.. when i am not on net eg using web pages the sound is fine.. as soon as i open a web page the sound crackles n buzzes.. now one other thing i have noticed is on my graphix card the fan is starting to make a racket.. are the 2 connected do you think is my unit maybe getting overheated etc...or is this just wishfull thinking..

ahh i replyed but it vannished lol hope i am not doubling this now...ok ty for reply.... right device manager has no red or yellow marks at all, the playback noise is from the music itself not a background noise if that makes sence its not a hum its a music buzzing a bit like trying to listen to music inside a tin can it sorta is echoy and buzzy n tinny all at the same time ( that prob dont make any sense lol) ... files i have stored on a spare hard drive but also does the same on net play back eg youtube vids and also cd's. the power supply is the one that came with the sound system which is creative surround sound , its as old as the pc but as i say it works perfect on my bros pc...i have checked all speakers as well. i moved the pc from one end of my room to another and this started, but i have tryed to move it since and its still doing the same..i have had a sim sorta noise b4 when the speaker wires were touching but this isnt the case this time. also i noticed the sound sometimes seems to slow down or speed up on net playback. I tryed diff playback devices eg VLC and BMP studio same result i tryed to change the sound eg room, hall, theater all still have the same playback noise..any other ideas please it driving me nuts..ohh all drivers are up to date fr the new sound card..i did try roll back but both drivers seem to have same effect as does the old realtek sound.

Hi all ok 1st i am a complete noob here so treat me gental...okies i have a HP pc about 8 years old recently after i moved the sound on my pc has been fuzzy with a sorta buzzy noice, ok i finks new sound card as it was inbuilt sound, so off i went, new sound card, installed..easy me thinks..installed a creative sound blaster one.installed all drivers etc that came with it rebooted and... sound is the same any ideas please... the realtek i have dissabled.. i have tryed my speakers in my bros pc and there sounding fine.. so what have i or havent i done right plz.. i hope this makes sence to anyone..lol ohh i did check all my speaker wires to make sure they werent touching etc to..please help me i miss my music lol ty x :confused:
