Do your speakers have their own volume control? If so, how high is it turned up? You may get a better signal to noise ratio (i.e. decrease the hum) by turning up the windows volume control and turning down the volume on the speakers.

I think you can identify if it is a rogue program by rebooting in Safe mode.
If the sound is still occuring then it is probably related more to your installed drivers for your sound card.
If the sound doesn't occur it may relate to a 3rd party program.
What was the most recent program you installed prior to the sound starting?
Are you sure the sound plug is in the right jack? You can get some pretty horrific sounds out of the wrong jack.
I would also be inclined to update the drivers for the sound card as well
Hope you can find an answer in here somewhere!!!

Bob,
Try running it with the cover of the box for a while. This stopped the noise in one of our computers as the unit was overheating.

Turning the sound card off through the speaker icon does not stop the snoring.

I always run my computer with the side panels in another part of the house. It is not overheating.

It is not hum.

Started in safe mode and the snoring stopped.
Started in safe mode with network and the snoring started again. AH HA!!
I recently installed various wireless network drivers on the system and I also did the SP2 update pack.
I will try uninstalling the wireless drivers.

Well done namtrak. Greenie awarded.
removed the wireless drivers and all is quiet again, so I removed the wireless card at the same time. I didn't really need it anyway as I can connect to my router just as easily using a cat5 cable. It is also faster that way.Bob Willson

Great news Bob. Now the missus will know it's you that's snoring, not the computer, so you won't be able to ignore her anymore.
I love a computer story with a happy ending ... they're so rare.

No worries, what's that saying about a million monkeys?
As for the wireless, if the Access Point is relatively close to the PC there shouldn't be that much difference in speed? But I guess for a PC it's not that big a deal. What about checking the manufacturers site to see if there is any report of problems?
Havings wireless is ideal for the laptop. And to make it even better internode has just upgraded their accounts and for $50 pm we get 15gb per month at 512kb (twice as fast for same price)There was a young boy called Wyatt
