looks like poor grounding problem.

if you're using a desktop:
take off all molex connectors (at a time) & snap it back again.
make sure you re-seat them properly.

including the 20/24 pin connector of the motherboard.

 

[computernerd17]

how exactly would i do that?
do u mean the connectors inside my computer?

 

[computernerd17]

alright i know what u mean hope i dont misplace them

You shouldn't if you do them one at a time.

Wait, are you talking about your speakers? Did you try the speakers on another computer? Did you try some different speakers on this computer?

 

[computernerd17]

speakers are fine i even treid headphones its my comuper i reastalled xp 2 times and reastalled m drivers 4 times and unplug my molex connectors for my drives and my motherbaord plz help me

 

[turbo1]

take off your tower case cover,un-plug your case fans (side,rear,front).
power up your machine & play music (with the cover off & fans un-plugged).

also,plug your speakers to another A/C wall outlet that is not congested
with other A/C device.

BTW: is your sound card an on-board or a PCI cound card?

 

[computernerd17]

no idea its a sis 7018 i dont see a card its just a sqaur box thing and how do i turn off rear fan?

 

[turbo1]

just un-plug the molex connector of the fan.& try the sound.

 

[computernerd17]

comp woldnt start up screen got all screwed up in stuff

 

[computernerd17]

i just found a boz saying that my sound card was a 3d blaster card from geforce but their is e empty slots and my audio driver is installed as a sis7018

 

[computernerd17]

nvm its just one slot but i dont see a card

 

[turbo1]

i think that 3d blaster is a video card.

if you're using XP,
can you please run a dxdiag report?

click start > run > at the search box type dxdiag.

at the lower part of the directx diagnostic tool screen,click
"save all information".a report will be generated in notepad.
save that & attach the report to your next reply.

 

[computernerd17]

This is on-board sound... The SIS driver may just need to be reinstalled

 

[computernerd17]

what one is that i already reanstalled the 7018 driver

 

[Tmagic650]

From the DX files, your on-board sound chip may have failed. You will need to buy a PCI sound card and install it. If you can't do this yourself, find a friend or relative that can do this for you

 

[computernerd17]

so what do u mean may have pretty much i just need a new pci sound card right

 

[computernerd17]

or is their anything i can do to fix it or check if it is bad

your current driver was 2001 release.
