    hi
    (sorry, i know this is more a hifi question, but i thought someone might know anyting about this regarding the onbord sound part & if i need a sound driver)...

    i have a sony str-de475 and whenever i try hook it up to my pc for sound
    (just using the normal output split into a 2way phone) i either get nothing or i get a weird buzzing noise as if it would be if u had the bass and volume cranked up to the max normally!
    i know i only have onbroard sound, but the motherboard (MSI-6712 KT4V-L) is said to have 5.1 output (however, i never got the digital output connector with it, so im using the headphones line)
    my sound driver is Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller
    could it be that the pc is interfering with the speakers? ...
    my pc, tv and amp are all in the centre of the room along the wall, all within half a foot or so from eachother, with the speakers either side of them (left speaker about 2 foot from pc, right speaker about 5 foot)
    is it just a cable issue etc?
    should i get the optical attachment for the sound (if its available seperately!)
    cheers

    get the optical attachment if you can, optical cables are cheap (5-10 euro) and iwll give digital sound quality.

    Could be an earthing problem, try connecting a cable to the earth lead of an electrical socket and liniking it to your PC/amp to get rid of any interferecne

    Be careful not to fry yourself !!

    Its most likely the onboard sound. My machine makes a constant buzz when there is hard-drive activity. 4 loud new cooling fans however mean I can't hear it anymore :)
