In Reply to: Speaker "noise" when vol. turned up high?? posted by Brian on 27, 2000 at 3:23 PM:
: I got a set of computer speakers for my cabinet and I was testing them out to see how they sound and when I turned the volume up high I'm getting a kind of staticy sound from the speakers. I tested two sets and they both do it. Is there a way to eliminate this, besides turning the vol. down. :) Is it because the speakers aren't that big or what? Thanks!

It is the nature of amplification circuits. Any extremely slight change in voltage (sometimes in the circuit itself) gets greatly magnified when you have the volume turned all the way up. This is the "noise" you hear. I would suggest 2 things, turn down the speakers volume to where you no longer hear the static and then turn up the volume coming from your soundcard. I usually set my speakers and soundcard both on 1/2 volume to start out with and then adjust each one till I get a result I like.
