Just today I have noticed that the sound quality from my speakers on my desktop PC has dropped.

With any output I am getting some interference (white noise). All soundcard drivers are up to date etc... it's a Sounblaster Live Value (about, cough.....4 years old....OK I swapped it over from another machine)

Am I right in thinking my soundcard is ready to be sent to the great soundcard cemetary in the sky?

I was hoping it was something simple like the soundcard. Thanks Ernest.

Damn, that means I'll have to get down behind the desk to check the wires, I dread to think what I'll find

Edited to say - after fighting off 2 Japanese soldiers who didn't know the war had ended I have found what was wrong, you were right it was a cable that had come out by about 3mm. All sorted. Thanks
