Getting Rid Of DVD Background Noises

Posted Oct 1, 2007 by Zahid  

If you are bugged by the constant background noises whenever you are accessing a DVD on your computer, you don’t have to put up with the irritant anymore.

Most of the time, noise occurs when the audio output of your DVD is connected directly to the line-in of the sound card. It could be that the sound port connection is interfering with the default coupling through the IDE cable. This leads to feedback of the audio signal at the sound card output. To avoid this interference of the audio signal, simply remove the audio connector inside the case (the one between the burner and the sound card). This will take care of the noise and you can resume your work without a bother.
