Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing noise in their speakers caused by mouse movement on a Windows XP system. The scope includes troubleshooting hardware issues, potential electrical interference, and driver-related problems.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • The initial poster describes a noise in the speakers when moving the mouse, suggesting it may be due to electrical interference.
  • After rerouting the mouse wire away from the speaker wires, the noise issue was resolved, though a separate booting issue with the mouse persists.
  • One participant suggests that the problem could be related to hardware issues on the motherboard, such as dirt on connections or shorts.
  • Another participant humorously acknowledges the possibility of electromagnetic interference affecting the speaker wires.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the noise was likely due to interference, as evidenced by the resolution after rerouting the wires. However, the booting issue with the mouse remains unresolved, and there are differing opinions on whether the underlying cause is hardware-related.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the booting issue with the mouse, and there are no definitive conclusions about the hardware condition of the motherboard.

My mouse is causing noise in my speakers whenever I move it. I can't exactly explain the noise, but it's quite and wouldn't be noticed if perhaps the television was on or I had an mp3 playing.
I tried muting the speakers from the volume control panel in windows XP, but I could still hear the noise. The speakers and mouse are both attached to the motherboard. I just got the thought that it's electrical interferance and plan to reboot and reroute the mouse wire away from other wires.
Also, sometimes when I reboot, the mouse doesn't work so I have to reboot again. The cursor just stays in the middle of the screen so I have to use the keyboard to reboot. I've thought this was a driver problem, but my pc says the driver is the best possible one, even though I tried to install the driver that came on cdrom with the mouse.
Any ideas?

wow, I rerouted the mouse wire and the noise stopped. It was all wrapped up in the speaker wires. problem solved except for the booting without the mouse working problem, but that doesn't happen too often.
 
have you opened your PC up and looked at the motherboard? Sounds like you have a problem there.. could be some dirt on one of the connections, or even a short of some short.. Could be a multitude of things, I would say tho its sounds like hardware problems
 
ahh... lol.. makes sence.. some EM interferance onto your speaker wire..
