PSA: If you have ever gotten a strange noise from your speakers when moving the mouse

[TitanDiddly]

I've had this happen to me once before, and again tonight. I'm sure it's semi common with cheap speakers and mice.
Symptoms: You hear a high-pitched, quiet buzz when you move the mouse, and only then.
Diagnosis: Cheap speaker and mouse wires interfering with each other. Seperate wires.

That also commonly happens with conflicting drivers.

Never mind, my reading comprehension is weak today.

Most unwanted sound leaks into the amplification chain through ground loops.

yeah.. and cdrom spin ups, and hard drive activity

cure: mute everything in the volume control that you dont use (aux, midi, cdrom..). works for me.
