Solve : Buzzing sound whenever mouse is moved?

Answer»

Okay, so here's the deal:

My ATI RADEON 9600 is like.. 2mm underneath my onboard sound hub

I downloaded the catalyst package and updated the drivers and software for the graphics card, ever since, whenever I move the mouse, I get a buzzing sound out of any speakers plugged into the speaker socket on the back, but all's fine on the hub on the front of the pc :S

It's driving me nuts.
I'm on:

Two Pentium 4 2.4ghz processors
512MB RAM
60GB HDD
ATI RADEON 9600 128MB graphics card
Realtek AC'97 onboard sound card

Help me pleeeeeeease!
Use the front 'hub'.

Can you roll back Windows to immediately before you replaced the Radeon drivers?

Try getting updated sound drivers from the website of your motherboard vendor. The Rad 9600 is a common budget card and this may well be a known problem that has already been fixed.Tried both - No luck. Then I checked another forum, and saw that it might be statical interference, so I decided to open the case and clean the components, then try to earth it with a stick

Problem solved. XD

Thanks for the help anyway

I can PLAY Fable again without BZZZZZZZZ everytime I turn to KILL something! "earth it with a stick"??!!!!Poking it with a stick. Probably removed excess electrical crap. Works for electronics usually o.oDoes it matter what tree this stick came from? Is OAK better at discharging static than ash?If I didnt know better, I'd say you were mocking me. XD

Anyways, may come in handy next time your Graphics/SOUNDCARD combo goes crazy Senile. Quote

Not at all - it just baffles me. I've never thought of sticks as being particularly conductive or good at absorbing electrical charges... But I'm no electronics whizz...
Me neither, but I did stay awake in Physics. Wood does not conduct. Maybe two wires were touching and you pushed them apart, or maybe you happened to bend the correct pin , or whatever. I wouldn't count on that working again.Then it's luck I guess XD

I was once told that to discharge an electrical thingybob, breaking the circuit of the conduction whatever (I'm a nerd, no electrician ). Using a non-conducting material, like a stick. Pot luck, I dunno. But it seems to have worked. 8-)Fed is an electrician. Maybe he has experience with using a stick. :-?I think you just got lucky Snagsy, I have no idea what you did to fix it. :-?INDEED. Lady luck must be smiling.. Now I dont have to fork out £13 for a semi-decent soundcard! Semi-decent? For thirteen quid? Presumably, you mean semi-decent and old?!lmfao @ poking it with a stick.
I used to use that expression when all serious attempts at a fix had failed.
