	What to do with noisy speakers? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

I have Logitech speakers. When I work, I listen to music on my PC, but at a barely audible volume level. Never had any problem before. But for a while now, they have been noisy at low volume. Its driving me nuts! It seems to be linked to the sound volume: when I increase the volume, the static/distorsion disappears. Any ideas?

a) PC speaker is, IIRC, the stuff that makes the peeping error noises within a computers. simply say speaker.
b) static noise for me usually has been a problem with the connection of the speakers.

I tried cleaning them, but it didn't help. Maybe I didn't do it properly.

Not the speakers, I tried cleaning the connections, the plugs.

It's not always a dirt problem.

I had this problem where the "female" part is, ahem, too wide.

I have logitech speakers. they work pretty good. Much better than these creative lab speakers I bought which didn't work right for my PC . They were supposed to work for PC's and they didn't (not in 5.1 sound at least)

and I have an Audigy 2 sound card as well.

If they are old or was of low quality, they maybe has lost their stiffness (don't know if it's the right expression).

Back in the good old days when stereo equipment was analogue, one of the advises to improve speakers was to give them a thin layer of lacquer to improve stiffness.

Hum, my motherboard integrated soundchip used to do the same... So I swithed it of, and installed an old SB128PCI. No problems.
