Hi, I just bought a pair of Creative i-trigue 3300 PC speakers. They
sound good for computer speakers (though I've never bought a pair
before). I noticed a slight buzzing from the sattelite speakers at
times, however, while listening to music that I find annoying. I'm
wondering is that typical for these type of speakers or could there be
something wrong with them? I have an old Yamaha OPL-SA3x onboard
soundcard - could upgrading it make a difference? Thx.

Generally speakers in good condition will not buzz, although I don't know
how loud you are playing them at those times hat they buzz.  A slight
buzzing can originate in a loose part somewhere in the cabinet, or if a
voice coil has been damaged and has one or more windings loose.  Sometimes
the problem can be pinpointed with a test CD that has a sweep tone.  But if
you just bought these new you should return them for exchange.

The first thing that I would do would be to determine if   OTHER speakers
buzz on this same pc and soundcard.  If they DO, then the trouble is in the
soundcard (or the wiring hookups or plugs) and not in the speakers.


Good luck !!
