Hi Nate_Cam
Some suggestions:
Sometimes older type Sound Blaster cards pick up noise or interference when set next to internal PCI modem. humming buzzing
Move Blaster card away from modem.
If there is an on board sound chip on your motherboard go into your BIOS and check
the setting is set to Disabled.
Then
If you are using SoundBlaster card make sure the on board sound chip drivers on the motherboard are
NOT installed.
(Some motherboard installation disks install without prompting.)
To check for this. Go to Start, Control Panel, Add Or Remove Programmes.
Look for the driver for that chip and uninstall. then reboot.
Run SounBlaster diagnostic test to check interupt settings:
Also go to Blaster Web site
http://au.creative.com/support/downloads/welcome.asp
and doublecheck you have the correct drivers for your card or update to a more current driver.
And one last one.
Check the sound cable from CD/DVD is in the correct input on the sound card.
