You've tried the speakers elsewhere? and um tried a different set of speakers (or a pair of headphones) in the socket?
I'm scraping the barrel i know - but I'm still thinking about it.

Re: Static on Soundblaster Live?
Not that I can see, but I'm sure this is something to do with the way the soundcard is installed, perhaps there's an earthing problem there...

did you try your headphones in the socket? - that could confirm if it was the card or the speakers, that aren't right?

Re: Static on Soundblaster Live?
I tried the speakers with my onboard soundcard, and the music is crystal clear - it's definately the SB live!

Here's a thought - is your motherboard chipset a via one? If so have you installed the hyperion (used to be via arena)drivers.
I think you just come up with this stuff to test us

Re: Static on Soundblaster Live?
...checked the Hyperion site and all I can see are drivers for the current onboard card...which works fine...

Re: Static on Soundblaster Live?
I've had a thought....all this seems to have been happening since I installed my graphics card which has a fan onboard.....could that be causing interference? If so how do I deal with it?

I can't say as I've EVER heard of that before - but I'm not saying it's not possible.

Also - since it happened since you put your new gfx card in - it could be the power supply isn't quite putting out enough power.
