Question:
The tower makes a horrible ear piercing squeal through the speakers. When I turn off the speakers the noise stops. But, of course, then I don't have any sound. It has done this for about a year now and I don't know what to do about it so I haven't had the speakers on and I'd like to have sound again.
Answer:
The most likely cause for this is feedback through the microphone (or another device) connected to your computer. The way to figure out what device on your sound card is causing this is to open up the volume control (double-click the speaker next to your clock). Once that is up, go to the Options menu and choose Properties. There is a list of various sound card devices. Put check marks next to all of them and click Ok. Now, turn your speakers on and click Mute under all the devices that are there until it stops. Once you find the one that is causing it, you can adjust the volume on that one input accordingly so that it doesn't cause feedback.
