A few days ago, I pulled at my headphones with a pretty strong jerk by accident, and they started to blast out a high pitched sound. At first I believed that I had broken my headphones, but I found that they only emitted the sound when connected to the computer that this originally happened with - they worked normally with my laptop. My sound card is an X-Fi extreme music.
I reset the computer, and it stopped emitting the noise. However, it seems as though the left channel audio has gotten messed up, in that I'll hear a (varying) amount of static through it. This only effects the left channel. It happens with both my speakers and headphones. I've noticed that sometimes it will die down or even dissipate for a while, but it will always come back. I haven't really seen any reason to why it will die down or come back up.
Has the card probably gone bad?
