I have an audigy 2 ZS sound card, and anything that gets plugged into it emits a VERY high pitch noise that gets louder when u increase the volume Any ideas?

when I mute the computer, it stops

get a different sound card and see if it does the same thing? then get a different pair of speakers and see if it does the same thing also? Troubleshooting isn't rocket science.

how are you 'muting' your computer?

well, I hit the mute button on my keyboard. and different speakers have the same problem. should I try putting the card in a different PCI slot?

Try a different PCI slot and get any cables near the card moved away from it... if neither works, RMA time.

And, oh yeah, wrong forum.

ok, Ill try the differnet slot.... I havent had the card that long either

Go into the volume controls and mute either the line-in or microphone inputs. Sounds like feedback of some sort.

Yeah.

I'd say mute everything that you don't use.
