whenever im playing a video or music there is alway this noise that is so annoying. it makes the song/sound sorta skip and it sound kind of like a high squeak. its hard to explain and im desperate for a solution. i have a dell (which was the biggest mistake i ever made) computer with onboard sound. i trid different headphones and speakers and its still there.
!!!!!!
Sounds like feed back, you dont have a mic setting close to a speaker with the mic volume turned up

no mike. its not like the sound of feedback. its like every 2-3 seconds its this quick high squeek. i want to say it sounds like when your in a movie or something when they rewind, that kinda noise but ust a quick "sqwick!"
also idk if this applies to soundcards as it does with video cards but will pci sound cards be good because i only have pci slots

It sounds like the onboard simply doesn't provide support for the demands multimedia will place on the onboard chip.

Oh please. Don't get started with more useless information again.

its been doing that ever since ive remembered ever using speakers, haha. i thought it was the speakers but ive tried using headphones and other speakers but it still does it. i dont think ive heard it while using sound from something on the internet but im not completely sure because ive just never checked.
im also using winamp. and im using vlc to play movies. i have the same versions on my other computer and its not doing it.

what do you mean by a sound mixer? the only thing i have to control the sound is the volume control with windows. ive tried adjusting the different level somewhat and nothing changed.
would you recommend buying a soundcard bc i really dont want to buy something that is unnecessary for everyday use (that includes music and movies); because every other computer ive used was jsut fine with onboard sound..

You may or may not have gotten a mixer program with your soundcard. Look for it in the volume controls. Also PCeye if you havent caught on by now no one wants to see your useless i told you so or my computer is better than yours crap stop being a jerk to the people and just leave this forum before we start a petition with the mods to get you removed becuase the last 10 posts i have seen from you have been both smartassed and answers that were not even the right stuff sheesh.
Andy you can get a decent soundblaster card for 20 bucks if you just want a basic one. Go to like newegg and price sound cards of all kinds and brands and see if you find one you like and if you do post a link here and we can tell you what we think of if.

what should i be looking for when buying a soundcard. a soundcard around or under $10 wouldnt be worth it will it? im just trying to make sure this will help my problem bc i dont want to get it and find out its not it.
is there anywhere else the problem can come from?
EDIT: it also says that my sound mixer is SoundMAX Digital Audio. im assuming thats just what comes with every windows OS?

Yes No
have you tried updating the drivers? i have onboard audio and i've never had sound issues so i find it hard to believe the onboard is having compatibility issues. if you haven't updated the drivers i would try that if worse comes to worse since dells such a screw up it could be an issue with the onboard audio controller
