How do I get rid of the buzzing noise in my speakers?

My speakers make a funny 'buzzing noise'?

  • I get a weird buzzing noise coming through my computers speakers. They are the speakers which came with the system, Dell and I have to turn the volume up pretty loud just to overcome ...show more

  • Answer:

    Try moving the speakers away from the monitor. Most of the answers above seem accurate in a possible diagnoses too. Loose wires & plugs, bad earths & connections, other electrical items in the area, are all the bane of speaker systems. Cheap speakers mean cut corners in quality. Get some better speakers. The basic ones Dell supply are really not up to the job.

There are two things I would try. 1 - plug in a different set of speakers to see if you get the same buzzing sound (symbo61 mentioned a set of headphones). This will tell you if it's your speakers or your computer setup. 2 - plug the buzzing speakers into another computer if you can. If they still buzz then you'll probably need some new ones. Good luck.

You can check the speakers by plugging in headphones instead to see if the problem goes away. If not you may have a bad sound card or an outside electrical source inducing a buzz. Check the path of the signal cable to the speakers. Do they run near power cords or other source of electromagnetic interference? Does the buzz change as you move the speaker cables? Do you have any devices near your computer that may be a source of interference?

If there is a cell phone or something simalar near by they can do that. Try twisting the plug that is going into the speakers from the computer, sometimes it stop the buzzing. If it doesn't work, sounds like you'll need new speakers. Good Luck

There could be a problem with your speaker configuration, your speakers themselves, or there is a source of interference nearby. Try to route the cable that connects the speakers to the computer far away from any other cables. Try using the speakers on a different computer or an mp3 player if possible. If you still hear static and "buzzing" then there's a problem with the speakers. Also, do you hear a constant hum? If so, then it is from interference from a different wire or cable such as a power cable. Power cables transmit AC power from the wall outlet and can induce similar frequency static in audio devices. If all else fails, buy a different set of speakers. The speakers that Dell bundles with a system are not designed to offer clear and perfect sound although they're not supposed to buzz incessently.

Check the minijack connected to your computer, it could be a little bent, dislodged or not plugged in all the way. Check all cables connected to the speakers, look for any strong bends or tears. Check your power connection for the same. unplug the secondary speaker component cable to rule out if it's a problem with both speakers or audio line from the computer. Use headphones in the same audio out jack to rule out a problem with the audio port and not the speakers.

Check the connection in the back of the computer and also check to see if anything around the speakers would be causing it. My cell phone will cause the buzzing noise.

sounds like a wire could be touching a piece of metal inside the speaker....best bet is to just get some new uns....its just easier, although not cheaper.
