Sometimes the key to finding and solving problems is to remove the possibilities one by one. Try the following:

1. Check the power supply to the speaker.

2. Check the cables from the sound card to the speakers.

3. Remove speakers and attach headset directly, check if the problem is eliminated.

4. Turn the volume on the speakers up and down, sometimes "dry join" from the volume control might be the cause of the interference.

5. Switch off the PC and check if the sound card is firmly attached in the slot.

6. Switch off the PC, open up the chasis and more the sound card away from the other cards (if the slots are not fully uitlized).

7. Move other electrical devices away from the speakers or from the CPU. Devices like cell phones do generate interference with the speakers from time to time, especially true for GSM mobile phones.

8. Last but not least, download and reinstall the SB drivers.

I hope the above tips would be any help to you.
