if I plug the headphones into the output for the speakers, they start doing the popping sound also. So it seems to be something wrong with that jack. I have a realtek soundcard (i think) I only just got this computer a few days ago, what can I do to fix this problem? - I dont really want to take it back to the shop....

I dont turn the volume up loud at all - so I dont think it could be the amp maxing out...

no you misunderstood - I unplug the speakers, and then plug the headphones into the jack that the speakers WERE plugged in to. then they start popping too.

Looking at your description of the problem you are having, I'd say the jack on the output for the speakers may be bad. If this is so, then the sound card will need to be replaced. Repairing and/or replacing a bad jack on a sound card isn't worth the time and effort or money. Other things you can try: Lowering the volume level for the sound card. If the level is too high, the speakers may not be able to handle it and as a result, cause the sound to come out distorted. Clean the jacks for the speakers and headphones, this may solve the problem. If you tried these and you still have problems, then I recommend you replace your sound card.

There is most likely something going wrong, or off a bit in the speakers themselves. If headphones hooked up directly do not produce the popping sound, but they do if plugged into the output on the speakers themselves, it is the speakers. Take the speakers back to the shop and have them looked at.

the 1st factor i might do is verify administration panel > sound and audio contraptions to make confident no longer something is muted. in case you plug the headphones returned in and you get sound, then that's in all likelihood no longer the sound card. i understand you in all likelihood checked all of this, yet i will point out it besides... some desktops have on-board sound on the MB besides to a valid card. for that reason you will possibly have 2 achieveable "green" output ports to plug in the cable. confirm you're utilizing the nicely suited one if it is the case. additionally, some modems have ports for sound additionally. confirm you're no longer mistakenly utilizing a sort of. I had an occasion the place I fastened someones pc at my domicile and each thing worked completely. while the guy further it domicile he stated he had no sound. I went via each thing returned basically to make certain that the audio equipment he grew to become into utilizing had a turn on them to % an "enter device." Do your audio equipment have the type of swap? finally, if all else fails i might in basic terms reinstall the sound card drivers. you in all likelihood have them on a disc that got here with the pc. If no longer you will get them from Gateway or Realtek.

this is normal action when the amp clips, that makes the pop sound and isnt very good for the speakers. basicly the amp is maxed out. turn the volume down or turn the bass down...
