I am sorry in advance if this has already been answered.

When i plug my headphones in i hear static, you can not notice it once the music is playing, but it gets really annoying really fast.

I dont know what to do. I have my speakers hooked up to a Turtle Beach Montego DDL. I couldnt find any X64 bit drivers for this card, so i figured there had to be other drivers that had the same chipset......I was right. So i have different drivers for the card.

I need help , Please Help!

Thanks,
Aaron

Hey Aaron,

It might be your headphones but if your using a different driver to your normal one thats also a huge factor that might be causing it.

Well i know for a fact its not the headphones, I forgot to put that it happens when listening to music without headphones.

Turtle Beach Didnt make drivers for X64 bit Vista, So i had to look elsewhere.....

Since there not the proper drivers there is only one thing you can try...

Go into Vista's Control Panel and open the Sound applet
Select your output device in the list that appears
NOTE: the default output device is commonly labeled Speakers
Right click on the device and from the context menu click Properties.
Click on the Enhancements TAB.
Then CHECK the box [x] for Disable all enhancements.

Well, about 2 months ago? I thought it might go away after firmware updates, which it didnt, so thats why i havent posted anything about it until now.

I am assuming that those are 1/8th inch jacks, right? No offense, but why are you pretty sure they are spic and span? the wrong conductive fiber in the jack and you'll get stack all day long....

But if they are clean, then perhaps you should look back about that time and see if perhaps Windows Update changed the installed driver on you?

Im pretty sure thay are spic and span because right when the sound card came out of the package, I plugged the speakers straight into them, No time for anything to get in there.

But just in case i blew it out, and i still have static. Then i read on the Turtle Beach website that it could be the graphics card for some reason, so i went to change the hardware acceleration and the option is grayed out. It says that my current display driver does not allow changes to hardware accleration settings. So, i downloaded the most recent driver and still the same thing.

Thanks,
Aaron

Move it to another slot. You could be picking up shared bus noise.

It don't work like that. It comes from the slot via its bus. On lower end motherboard boards, the bus might share with 2-3 slots and on-board controllers and adapters. You could be picking up the static through the slot itself. Check your motherboard book to see which bus each slot is attached to.

Well, i don't exactly have the book. I built this computer through tigerdirect. No book really came with the package. I will try to look though.

Turn it off. Move it over one slot. I don't recommend Tiger Direct.

Im sorry to hear that, I simple love that place. Did you have a bad experience?

I just replugged the speakers into the onboard sound and i still have static.

Could this be from interferance from my wireless keyboard/mouse?

Hard to say. I would try moving your sound card to each slot and see if you can notice a difference. I use server boards. They are grounded better and have more buses to distribute everything across.

Well, Ill see what happens and tell as soon as i get this done.

Once again....Static...:(:(

Like i said could it be because of the wireless mouse/keyboard.

My dad has radios, Could that be it?
