computer making clicking noise through speakers

It is new & I am still learning it.plus, I am not a pro by any stretch of the word! And I do NOT want to void any warranty!ĭarn it, it's in the computer. I do not plan on opening the tower or doing anything major to this computer. The only thing on this desk with this new computer is a Lexmark printer, a big Samsung CRT monitor, the keyboard, the mouse, the tower, and wired Uverse modem thingy (sorry, don't know what to call it.router?) Could any of that cause interference? The new set gets its power from the tower (it has a USB cable). The only difference between the old speakers & the new Acer speakers is that the old set gets its power from an outlet. Later today, I will plug in the new speakers again and see what happens. Why the difference?Ĭurrently, I have our old set of speakers hooked into the new computer & they work.no clicking or anything. Anyway, speakers work perfectly fine on that computer.

To test, I plugged the speakers into our old computer, which is in the living room (new computer is in kitchen), but it's about the same distance from the cordless phone. There is a cordless phone about 15-20 feet 's plugged in, but we never use the phone anymore since we no longer have home phone service - could that be the culprit? I tried moving a cell phone further away from computer - clicking remained.
