I've actually had this happen before. Somewhere along the line either : 1. your audio and mouse/keyboard cables are coming into close proximity to one another. or 2. Your mouse/kb cable is very close to a specific speaker. The solution is to move your mouse cable away from your speakers/cables. I guess you could shield it if you can't move it. Tinfoil around only the one cable at close proximity sections should do the trick. -B
