Mouse squeaks

[SALvation]

I reformatted my machine last week and ever since, when I press the scroll up or down buttons on my MX700, I hear a small squeak through my headphones. It happens when I use my wheel too. Any ideas?

:rofl: If i knew what it was, it would be even funnier!

really though, sounds strange, i would suspect some type of grounding issue, but don't know what that could be. do the mouse & speaker cords cross? maybe try a different usb port or something...

I have noticed that when I have played sam. So to take care of it, I don't play sam. I have heard it before, and well since I got my audigy 2 card, I haven't heard it, but I have only played a few games of sam here and there to kill time and for a good laugh.

Maybe something interfering on that frequecy or something. Not sure what Hz RF is on, but I hope it isn't 2.4GHz. So much stuff on that now :wacko:

hmmm, ck to see if the mouse cord is close to speakers. it could be some interfernce in your pc area. ck to see if you have the same problem with a different mouse. another guess would be trying another usb port. disable the midi port and game port from onboard sound because i doubt you use it. comports also if you do not use them also. i have expericed this before and was due to interference.

Onboard sound, I would assume? I would suspect crosstalk within the board itself. Is it high pitched?

Was ust thinking of that. The squeak I had, this is a long short but well.., was when I was using onboard sound card. Since then I got an Audigy 2 card, and no moer squeak.:)

[SALvation]

Yep. Its a new MB with onboard sound and yes, it's a high pitched sound. Any way to get rid of it?

[Death Engineer]

Not that I know of. It's probably noise on the bus that gets transferred to the chip on board and comes out as audio. :P Basically, get a PCI soundcard.

I have a SB Live sitting here but I enjoyed having no cards in my PC except my video card. :) If its gets annoying, I'll switch it.

a Squeaky mouse good one Sal :P
Feed it :thumbs:

Those guys are right its interfernce try another usb port and move the transmitter
as far from the pc and monitor as posible.

I have the same problem and I am using an Audigy Card. It only makes a sound when I scroll though. It is very annoying and I have tried to switch usb ports and it didn't work.

[Grimmy]

Do you have your onboard sound disabled in your bios?

[Goober]

Hmmmmm.....mouse squeaks when scrolling.
I would assume that you are scrolling to hard and are annoying your mouse. Perhaps the up and down motion doesn't please it the way it used to. I would try a circular motion while playing some soft music and offer it wine and cheese.

Hey I think I figured out what was causing the interference. I went in to my sound mixer and muted the TAD-in setting and now I don't hear it anymore. :)

Where are the TADin settings? I just see line in on mine.

[Slice]

Go to your sound options and select properties. Then check mark the TAD-in box for play back. Then when you close that it should show up in the list. When I muted mine the squeak sound stopped out of my speakers.

[SALvation]

Bah...I don't have a TAD in listed. I tried even muting the master volume and it still happens.
