At low volume the sound becomes variable and static ridden sometimes even turning off completely.

You have a bad potentiometer which is a variable resistor. Might be the switch you are turning.

WARNING: Before you start troubleshooting remember that you are dealing with electricity that can KILL.

Volume problems on computers often happen for a variety of reasons.

Volume troubleshooting, however, is one of the easiest problems to troubleshoot because there are only a few things that usually cause the problems.

Usually the problem isn't even an error but just merely an adjustment that needs to be made.

Test your speakers.

This is the first thing you should check if you can't hear anything coming out of your computer. First try turning up the volume know and make sure you are in fact turning the volume knob and not a tone or balance knob.

Make sure the speakers are completely plugged in to the wall and the computer. Test with another set of speakers or headphones after you have done this.

Check the computer volume level.

On the taskbar is a volume icon, which usually looks like a small speaker.

Click on the icon and turn the volume up.

Make sure it has not been muted.

Double clicking on the icon will bring up a panel of several volume controls.

Try turning up the volume on each slider.

Go to Control Panel and choose "Sounds and Audio Devices."

Under the volume tab, click speaker volume and turn up the level if needed.

Turn up the application volume. Most programs that use sound have an additional volume control just for that program.

Find the volume control and turn it up.

Usually it is located in the lower right or left corner on the program, but you may have to search for it.

Troubleshoot the sound card.

Download the latest drivers from your sound card manufacturer's website.

Go to Control panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager. Click on "Sound, Video and Game Controllers."

Click on your sound card, select the driver tab and then click on "Update Driver."

Point to the file where you saved the latest drivers from the website.

After this, restart your computer.

The speaker plug/outlets is usually at the back of the computer or if its a laptop on the side

you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make

sure the connection is good with no dust as dust causes static electricity

clean your computer of dust using a can of compressed air or fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is

no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit

dust causes static to build up in a computer

If this doesn't solve your problem, try reseating the sound card into your computer.

Hop this helps

This status could be caused by the volume limiter inside the unit thus causing static, thus you will need to have it repaired. The cost of this repair ranges from $50-$90 bucks depending on the actul cost of the part causing the interference,

This is an easy fix with a can of volume knob cleaner i think its called. You should be able to get it at radio shack. You just spray it into the volume knob and let it dry. The instructions are on the can.

Normal 0 If you have your speakers turned up to high it will give you feedback causing distortion and static. Sometimes even awith the speakers turned down low, feedback is possible.
I recommend using a headset when videoing. Hope this is of some help. Bud

Sounds like the cords that are going into the PC/system have static. Remove the cords from the speakers and simply put your finger around the jacks to remove static. Push the cords and the jacks back in and switch on the speakers. Then twist the volume control, turning it up loud and then low, then loud and low again. That should cure the problem as it removes static that gets built up over time. Either that or your speakers could well be damaged.

I foudn this in anther forum:
I have an ASUS motherboard P5E3 Premium. The audio that came with it was the Sound Max audio. I also noticed abnormal sounds coming from the speakers. They included sounds during hard drive activity and also with mouse movement. They were not loud but noticable. I searched all over the web but didn't find the answer. I stumbled across the fix myself. I also have vista-64. In the sound control panel > speaker properties > levels... there is a pc beep slide bar. I noticed that if it is disabled then the abnormal sound went away completely. Problem solved. Hope this helps.

This may sound stupid but try this turn the volume knob to high and low continously for a few seconds sometimes the contacts become dirty and just a little movement back and forth quickly repairs it. I said SOMETIMES.

When I turn on my radio, the volume is on and o.k. but when I try to turn it higher or lower the volume is lost completely. Any comments?

Will not turn on get blue screen with eq band only after leaving it on for some time i get some function out of it only at low volume setting if i try to turn it up reception and sound quality breaks up
