speaker feedback
 

I've got a HP laptop with Altect Lansing speakers plugged into it. I got the speakers this summer and noticed some feedback immidiately when going from page to page but if music was on it wasn't noticeable. Now the feedback seems to be getting worse and when I go from page to page it is very notice about even with loud music playing. Is there anything I can do about this? New speakers?

I think feedback is the wrong word. Static maybe? If not static, what kind of sound? And by going from "page to page" do you mean it only happens when you're surfing the web?

I guess static is the right word. I mean when surfing the web or downloading music. Not noticeable when playing poker though.

Check to make sure it's the speakers' fault. (I bet it is.) Just plug some headphones in, and see if you can recreate the sound. It's possible the static is coming from your soundcard, and not the speakers.

check the connections going into the back of your speakers if you can, this could be a sign that they are coming loose.

This is probably caused from interference in the computer itself. Integrating sound into chipset has only made the problem worse as now the interference comes from the chip that is handling the sound. On a laptop you're pretty screwed. If the laptop has SPDIF you can use that, but the equipment to hook up to that isn't common.
