1. Are you sure that the speakers are good? Check with any other speakers or earphones.
2. Is that a constant buzz or occasional?

1. Check the ground cable as mentioned by mithun_mrg.
2. Check whether connection between speakers and mobo is right or not (if its loose)
3. Check your speaker's quality.
4. Check whether any signal is interfering your speakers or not.
5. Place your speakers a bit away from your UPS.

if the problem is with driver, you would'nt get that buzzing sound in bios menu. I has similar problem, the actual culprit was the psu.
keep your speakers on and shutdown the pc with main switch still on and report back if you still have the buzzing sound.

Sound Worked Perfecly Fine after Installing Windows....

Next Giving A Little Bit Of Problem...

Installed All Drivers Except Sound Realtek Drive...Working Fine....

Installed windows update and Gta 4

Problem Started In Playing GTA 4 and The Buzz sound Continous


Does it Have Any Thing To Do With The Heating Up Of Computer and What should be the frequency and bit rate to be used.. with Creative SBS A335..
mithun_mrg
Sep 17, 2011 at 4:22 PM
@op while the pc on unplug the speaker jack from the MB the task manager a message will pop "a jack has been unplugged" insert it to any other Orange,Black etc excluding the ping/blue jack a popup will come select line out/front speaker out & then see if the buzz persists
else remove all the sound drivers including the THX software if u have installed reboot and install from here if ur using win7 32 else change the os type
*www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68A-GD65--B3-.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7 32
i doubt its a driver problem because u mentioned it happened in bios also
Try these & get back

in case the buzzing noise comes back, you can try one more thing - if you can see the front mic option, mute it. i had a problem like this quite a while back. the above method rectified it.

How is the gadgetry connected? What load is there on the UPS? Is the cable interfering with many others in a tangle? Does moving/handling/repositioning the cord to the mobo socket show any change?

I Dont Have A UPS PC Is Directly Connected To Power Socket

Just Today I Connected my Bravia KLV 40 V 550 A To The PC using Aux and The Buzzing Sound Was Still Coming From TV Speakers....

The Buzzing Sound Always Come From Right Chanel Of Speaker

Also No Effect By Switching The Ports in ALC 892

The Sound Get Reduced When I Uninstall Realtech Driver and Use The Default Windows one but only 70 % and It Changes Pattern when Changing This

It is Now Continuous but momentary sound and Irritates me a lot ...

Got The Whole Set Up Assembled and No Luck The Sound Was There

I Have A OLD Power SURGE and don't Know About Its Grounding Status ...Could it Be The Problem

No. You don't have any driver problems.

I Dont Have A UPS PC Is Directly Connected To Power Socket

It is most likely that the wall socket you use for the computer is not earthed. You must put the computer behind the security of at least a stabilizer.

Make sure earthing is not the issue..

Are you using the below type of pow. cord to power PSU/monitor/any other components that are connected to PC?

no i am using three pin plug..

moved my computer to different location and the sound gets away but when i place right side speaker near psu ie bottom part of cabinate the "Put Put" sound comes back and this time i am using grounded socket

The buzz Sound has gone for now but the Put Put Sound has increased

Finally Got To Two Conclusion

1. Buzzing Sound Comes Due To Software Driver
2. Cracking or Put Put Sound Comes Due To Static Electricity(Read And Article on Cnet)

what speakers u use currently ? are they magnetically shielded ?

a main reason for buzz sound is electrical disturbance whereas pat pat sound normally occurs due to magnetic interference.

you should thoroughly check these first :
> check ur electric switchboard, there should not be any loose connection. if the switch related to plug is bad, change it. if the plug socket is bad or not good quality, change it.
> use a 3 pin plug connection that joins firmly - not too tight, not too loose, just proper connection.
> always use ups. make sure both computer and speakers are connected to it.
> if ut audio pin is dirty, wipe it and connect it again.
> don't put speakers near heavy electrical / magnetic machinery (i.e. UPS :) )
> keep ur cellphone away from speakers :D
> do not lay audio wires near high power wires. try to keep wires as much tangle free as possible.
try all these and tell.

Got Rid OF Buzzing it Was Completely Due To Drivers but The Phat Phat is Still There...

1>The Speakers are having Only Two pin Plug
2>The Power Board or Surge I am Using Is Having around 10m or more Length Cable which is Lying Near The Speakers
3> There Is My BSNL Modem Lying Around
4> A Big Reliance Hub Is Fitted Just behind The Wall as I am In A Flat( Could It Produce The Disturbing Magnetic Field )
Please Reply

The Amount Of Phat Phat Sound Gets Changed On Moving Speaker To Different Position In The Room

I am sure the problem is due to earthing

Mar 31, 2012 at 1:29 PM
If the prob. is due to earthing, the noise will start the moment the motherboard & speaker receives power. But the noise starts during windows startup.

Audio Driver problem or defective audio chipset..

Mar 31, 2012 at 1:59 PM
^^Then RMA your board is the best option

You should take only the motherboard with original box pack and cover the processor socket like this.Cover will not allow the pin to bend.
