You can also wrap farrite rods or beads around the wires near the connection points. Ham radio operators have been doing this for years. Look at Radio Shack and if they are clueless call a ham radio store and ask if they have beads or rods for rfi and tvi. rfi radio frequency interference and tvi television interference. When connecting mixers and other components, shell out for really good shielded cables.

Subject: Re: This annoying noise in our speakers Hi Kathy. OkI'll take it on, because I know exactly what you are hearing. Now then, that's the good news. The bad news is that solving the problem is kind of hit and miss. The short, rather unscientiffic answer is that you have some component patched either into your computer or in the immediate vacinity of your computer which is interfering with your Pc's audio. I have 3 Pc's in the same room. One of them had both a mixer and a receiver plugged into it. Each fed into the system independently through the use of a component selecter. Meanwhile, the receiver was also outfitted with an equalizer. The result was that all three computers emitted an annoying rythmic tone which was also evident in any audio that I created using the computers. The only way that I finally solved the problem was to disconnect components 1 at a time until the annoying sound stopped. In my case, the equalizer was causing the trouble. Since I removed it from the mix, no problem. Hope this helps. Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Szinnyey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Anyone have an idea what could be causing this annoying rapid tapping sound in our speakers? I don't think it's our new SB Live 24 bit soundcard (thanks, Dana!). It's this rapid pulsing sound, probably caused by interference from something, but we can't figure out what. Any takers?

But I had to spawn the two instances by pressing my winamp shortcut twice. The ctrl-n technique that Martina mentioned doesn't seem to work for me, unless I'm misunderstanding something. Listening to Phantom of the Opera and Phil Ochs simultaneously is rather hard on the ear. <grin> But it DOES work.
