I'm just curious as to what would cause a really low volume fast paced tick, tick, tick, tick coming from computer speakers. This is an old 5.1 set from Creative I bought way back in 2006, so I'm not really worried about fixing it. I'm just curious.
It's coming from the satellite speakers. I can't hear it unless my ear is right up against the speaker grill and there is no input.
When I use the speakers' volume controller to turn up the volume knob, the ticking stops.
What is curious, other than the ticking sound itself, is that when I use the volume knob to increase power to the speakers, the ticking stops.
Even with the speakers unplugged for the computer side input, the ticking persists. Also, it doesn't matter what port they are plugged into, front, back, center.
