Speakers Poping!!


I have a Dell 4100, 800 mgz, 256 RAM, WIN ME, SB Live sound card and altec lansing speakers.
When surfing the web or operating programs, from time to time there is a pop or clicking sound that comes out of the speakers. It seems to happen when i click the mouse and is intermittant. Sometimes in the middle of the night the speakers pop real loud and i just about fall out of my chair. Please, is there any known issue regarding this annoying not to mention scary problem?

Thanks for any insight,

Gary Lamprecht

    try plugging your speakers into the CD-ROM jack after putting in an audio CD(or use a portable Music player). if the popping noise is still there your speakers are proboly blown. otherwise it might be the soundcard.

    hey I'm getting that computer too so it'll probably happen to mine as well, right now I have a home pc and its the same story with the popping sound, its very loud and annoying but only periodically happens, I don't think its harmful in any way to your computer only your ears!

    The speakers are fine, but there seems to be some sort of feedback when i click the mouse. It also happens frequently when i move the pointer over a link or a seires of links. Sometimes i can move it over the toolbar right over this message and hear a clicking as the pointer passes over a link. This also happens when i am not on the web, useing a program such as Photsuite III. It does not happen during playback on a MP3 Or CD, just when i click the mouse, sometimes???????
