This is odd.
OK, I've had these speakers for about a month now and they were fine until a day or two ago (when I got a new LCD Monitor, switched from CRT, as well as got a new graphics card, could that be the problem?). In a few songs they are perfectly fine on full blast but a few (like my favorites) always randomly crackle in the song... I tried straightening out the cords and such but, nothing. The sound isn't anything less, it just randomly crackles during the song and it is quite annoying and renders my music unlistenable. My speakers are Logitech X-230's. Could replacing the sound card work? I have one that I can get for free. I take extremely good care of my speakers, my old ones I had for 6 years and they never got this problem. What could it be?
Note: Using these songs bought from the iTunes store, using 'em in iTunes obviously.
Edit: I blew in the sound port hole thingies and played with the wires and got rid of it mostly and the little that there is minimized, still there though, still disappointed, any ideas?
Double Edit: I think it is somehow the cords to the speakers, when I turn the speakers on full blast (no music on, everything silent) and put my ear to them I hear a "zzt ztt crackle crackle" type of noise and when I play with the wires it goes in and out like an old time radio. Any suggestions? There WAS a cell phone in the edge of my room covered up by a bunch of crap, I moved it to the hallway, didn't help.
