What Is Causing This Buzzing From My Speakers?

Hi,
I am getting strange buzzing sounds from my computer speakers. Anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

Kerry is right.

I got the same problem. I checked my mic, it was on. That was why I got the speakers saying what I said.

It could be a number of things

Could it be that you have a microphone on? If you have a headset with a mic on it, turn it off from the mic itself. You can also turn the mic off via software. For example, on my computer I have a Nvidia motherboard that comes with software that installs itself in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel. Try also unplugging the jacks and putting them back in.
