    This is a weird problem, just popping up in the recent days. When I'm playing music on iTunes, everything sounds fine until I start using the internet. Then whenever a page loads, or I scroll, it starts getting fuzzy. Not like a broken TV, but it makes little noises that sound almost like pops and buzzes. It happens regardless of track...

    Any ideas? I already checked to make sure all wires were plugged in properly.

    Do you have a PC or a laptop? If you are using a laptop, does it happen when the laptop is connected to AC power, instead of using the battery?

    EDIT: duh, I didn't read the wires part. I guess it's a PC, then.

    Does it also happen when playing non-digital music (i.e. an audio CD)?

    Also, did you try any of this?
    iTunes and QuickTime: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly.

    Alright, so I restarted the computer and reset the internet and for now, it seems to be working fine (cross fingers...)

    But about the driver update... the don't seem to have the one I have. Of course, I don't know if I am looking in the right section, but it was the only one that looked like an audio driver: NVIDIA nforce Audio Codec Interface.

    They seem to not have it, so I checked to see if I had any of theirs, but not for sound.

    Try moving ethernet and speaker wires apart.

    I'm on a wireless system, so I don't have an ethernet cable... I'll move the wireless receptor wire, though.
