Headphone static

I do most of my music listening while working on the computer. If there is not currently a track playing, I can hear static sounding noise in the headphones, which varies in proportion to CPU usage (or so it seems). Is there a way that anyone has found to eliminate this? (this has been the case on every computer I have owned) as sometimes I wear them just to block out noise when trying to study.

Thanks

Re: Headphone static

Yeah. Get rid of those tin cans and get some real headphones. ;)

Re: Headphone static

Go to your volume settings and mute things such as CD Audio and Line In. See if that helps.
