Is this a soundcard issue?

Before christmas my girlfriend was moving her computer stuff around and afterwards the speakers sounded all fucked up. I assumed she damaged one of the speaker cables or something and for xmas got her new speakers (which work fine on other computers)

When we got back to college we connected them up to her desktop and... still fucked up. The problem is a constant crackling sound in the background, and it occurs no matter which speaker jack we plug the speakers into (rear speaker or front headphone). When I move the cables around it changes the frequency of the crackling.

So what could be the problem? I've never had a sound card issue before, and definitely not one that could be caused by moving the PC a few feet.

The sound quality of my girlfriend also often goes all crackled and garbled, making random noises that are really annoying to listen to.

However, i found as soon as i connected upto a Wireless Lager Server, the problem slowly diminished until i couldn't hear the sound at all.

We told you, alcohol makes the problem go away by making all sounds disappear!

Or check for any hardware conflicts with the soundcard.

Try cleaning the card properly, wipe it down with a strong bleach then scrub it with a wire brush.
