It sounds like a short in either the wire or the connection to the computer. 90% of the time this is caused by the cable getting pinched somehow, or just getting old. You'll need a new wire, so probably new headphones altogether.

I just found out how to open the E4's.
What you do is, unscrew the metal cap that holds the angled earbud tube in place. Note that the tube itself can't be turned.
Then remove the metal ring behind it as well as the small rubber ring.
There is a 'hinge' at the cord end of the earbud, so what you should do is take a very sharp knife (I used a scalpel) and pry the top off the earbud from the end that had the ring mounted by inserting the knife between the top piece and the metal element. Note that it's attached with a little glue, so it will take some coaxing to get off.

This isn't really a solution, but should be relevant. If you think that cleaning might be the issue, don't be too afraid to really dig in there. The part you see is just a cover, not the speaker diaphragm itself. I've had the tip part fall off (well, sort of break off) and that whole assembly doesn't do anything but cover the speaker. The real deal is pretty deep in.

Hi all,
Mine has had the same problem as the rest, and I just fixed mine. I hope this solution will work for
the rest of you also. The problem is with R82 located on the pcboard in the left ear piece. This
is a variable resistor. Inside this resistor it develops a condition called a dry contact where the
wiper isn't making contact with the conductive surface. If the pot is moved a bit then returned
to its original position, it wipes the contact clean and restores normal function. To access this
pot, remove the ear pad and fold down the cloth from the top just enough to get to the screw
that is closest to the top. After removing this screw, you can remove the arch shaped cover
on the outside. R82 is labeled. The problem is they put a drop of glue to prevent the pot from
rotating. GENTLY! remove the drop of glue. I used a sharp knife and wedged it between the
pot and the glue, do not put too much pressure on the pot. Once the glue has been removed,
not the position of the pot and turn it slightly and the return it to its original position. That is all.
For those designing circuits, make sure that you have about 1mA of current through the wiper
during normal operation. This will prevent this problem.
This may not work for you and I am not responsible for making a mess from your headphones
so try it at your own risk.
Let me know if it works.

That often happens because of a contact on the headphone wiring, The only way to fix it is by taking apart headphones, testing the wire, and checking the headphones solder joints on the speakers and on jack connector, that usually are responsible for this kind of problems.
