Whenever I scroll down a page of text/website/whatever, or when theres a status bar on the screen that is moving, a deep rubbing-like sound is emmited from my onboard audio.




The only thing I could think of that might cause something like this would be crosstalk... but.. I don't see how. I am using front audio ports which means the extension runs from the rear ports to the front ones...





any insight?

I've seen many systems which do this. My laptop even emits strange noise when I scroll down in web pages using the standard arrow keys.

is your line turned on in the volume control? sometimes that causes strange noises.

Time to invest in a real PCI soundcard. :p

If I remember right, it's just crosstalk amongst the innards of the motherboard and the onboard soundcard.

But hey, I could be wrong. ;)
