What stopped this was muting the microphone input. Also, when I had mult-channel sound enabled, lowering the Center/Sub sliders to their minimum also helped.Thu, 20 Mar 2008 09:26:19 GMTWAW8RE: Problem with Sound on Vista x86, Funny Squeaking sound thru speakershttp://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic15569-17-1.aspxok. i thought this was a technical problem so i posted here. anyways will look for replies in the audio/video forumMon, 17 Mar 2008 10:14:08 GMTchadaRE: Problem with Sound on Vista x86, Funny Squeaking sound thru speakershttp://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic15569-17-1.aspxI know it can be hard to find, but we do have an Audio and Video forum for just this kind of problem. <br><br>I'll be moving the post there.

The laptop is custom built but I know that it uses a Mitac 8252D chasis and the sound chip is Realtek HD Audio (ALC 883). My speakers/headphones produce small squeaking sounds and some static. I think the problem is driver related. When using the R1.60 Drivers (supplied with my laptop) I get the squeaking but very good sound quality. When using newer drivers like R1.75 or R1.88 (Newest) the squeaking disappears but I get very dull sound. Some drivers like R1.87 just make the sound really funny (high pitched). The Vista inbuilt driver also makes it high pitched.<br><br>More info:<br>-Vista Home Premium x86<br>-Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2Ghz<br>-Nvidia 8600M GS<br><br><br>The laptop doesnt squeak when booting up.<br><br>Any ideas?
