Using a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop


All has been good since I took my laptop home and back to my apartment with me last weekend. Now the right speaker has a strange hissing sound to it... ok, so the speaker is bad? So I plug in headphones and the right headhpone has the same sound- not the speaker.

It comes and goes in varying degrees of annoyingness. When I move the mouse or click it goes away for those moments, like its a current or something that is being affected.

I can hear it when there is no sound at all, just a static garble coming from the source for the right speaker. When I scroll up and down websites, or click around, it affects the tone of it.


I have no clue.
 
Sounds like an interference problem. Make sure that the jack isn't loose and that there are not any large power/radio emitting sources near the laptop. Its not normal, so if its under warranty see if Dell will fix it.
 
Took the entire laptop apart to pieces, cleaned every bit, put it back together- sound is clean and crisp. Fixed
