I moved to college and brought my desktop with me with my speakers. Now, whenever I play music, sometimes my whole computer will spazz out and like when I move the mouse and the music is playing, the mouse will jump while the computer is spazzing out and my speakeres will make a ZZZZ sound. This happens anywhere from 5-10 times in a song sometimes and other songs it simply plays out.
Are my speakers breaking or is there something wrong with my computer? It doesn't do this when I watch movies, only play music without headphones |

- Does it happen when you play music but your speakers are not connected? - Does it happen when you play other sounds (YouTube, games etc.) while you speakers are connected?
Unfortunately, 'spazzing out' isn't very helpful. Try to be more descriptive. |

| That's not good. What happens if you unplug your speakers from the computer and plug your headphones into the same jack? It's looking like it's either a problem with the sound card or the speakers. If the same problem doesn't happen with the headphones, I'd say you shouldn't plug the speakers back in at all. The fact that it's able to affect the function of other hardware in the computer might suggest some kind of electrical fault in the speakers. |

| This suggests to me you might have some sort of ground loop going on, not sure where and when, but I'd suggest you lift your speaker's ground, you can use a cheater plug (3 to 2 prong adapter) to do so. If this doesn't help you might have some other kind of ground problem. |
