I notice that funny noises sometimes come out of my digital speakers,
even when the computer is off. But my biggest problem is that the
speaker volume often swells and dimishes for no reason. It is not in
the content and when I use my earphones, attached to the analog out of
my Sound Blaster, the sound is fine. So which is more likely the
culprit, the speakers or the sound card? Thanks.

The speakers, assuming they are "powered" speakers (meaning with their own
electronics inside, and not just passive speakers. (although if the wire
connections and connectors to the speakers were bad, the volume could change
randomly by simply wiggling the wires and/or the connectors)


From: "db" databaseben at hotmail dot on
you may need "powered"
speakers,

in that there is an a/c
adaptor that provides
power to them in order
to amplify the sound.
