Sounds when I minimize windows?

[ben johnson]

Why do I here a weird sound when I minimize any window in windows? Also I can sometimes here static or the sound of the hard drive in my speakers when there is no sound.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

I'm thinking possibly it could be from interferance. I have the same problem thought it isn't as annoying because of my noisy computer fans. The onboard sound makes the noise yet the Audigy Card I used to have in the computer it woudln't. It could be a shielding issue, perhaps some tinfoil around the cable would fix it, don't take me word for it its just some old things I have heard. Maybe we'll get a real answer, til the I'll just tolerate mine.

Yeah its like I can heard my hard drive through my speakers. Im not sure if the interference is coming through the mother board or through the actual wires connecting behind my computer.

If anyone knows how to fix that I would be really grateful. This is pretty annoying.

You might find a better answer in the Computer Audio forum, I remember back from the Audigy and even the X-Fi that sometimes it can be a driver issue, or even possibly IRQ, depending on the sound, if its static or digital sounding. My noise is a static sound though I have the volume at 59 out of 60 on the speakers and use the computer to control the volume.
