I like listening to music so recently my old computer was replaced with an ASUS E210. Now the computer is completely silent. It doesn't even have fans. It was connected with the old 3.5mm audio cable from the earphone socket. Every time I start the machine I have to set the sound to use the earphone socket. There is only that one 3.5mm socket.
It would be nice to have the sound working without changing settings so I thought about using HDMI instead. The Philips 248C monitor has the same 3.5mm socket. So I moved the plug. Everything was silent, as it should be. I lowered the volume and started playback. The beautiful female voice was mixed with quite a lot of background noise. Static. When pausing the playback the music stops and the white noise continues for a couple of seconds.
Is there anything I can do to get the audio without the background noise?
