This is something I've had for ages, but always assumed it was just 'normal' for things, but figured I'd ask here in case it wasn't.
Basically, it sounds kind of like a low noise, something I only notice when I have my headphones on but no sound playing. Things like opening or scrolling through firefox tabs make a small noise through the headphones, I ran the sunspider java benchmark just recently and it was very pronounced, with a sort of dull noise each time the page loaded the next test.
There's a sort of constant noise if I press down the middle mouse button and scroll through a website, but its only there if there's some (or several) images on the page. And its especially noticible on websites that have those images that scroll as you scroll to keep themselves at the bottom of the page, usually links to go back to the top.
Open a folder in windows explorer, drag the scrollbar to go up and down and it makes a buzz too. Steam makes a louder buzz while scrolling through the games list.
I'm posting here as I guess its a sound issue, but I'm really not sure. Its hardly the end of the world, I've put up with it for ages, but it is slightly annoying.
I'm using a Creative Xtreme Gamer soundcard with the latest drivers (2.18.15), and a Razor Barracuda HP1 headset, if that matters. Any ideas on the causes?
