I am based in the UK and have an issue with an XPC Shuttle SK21V10 which has started to develop this word sound, coming from the sound card.
How do I know it's from the sound card, well glad you asked. The noise is internal, either through speakers or headphones. unplug both of these and no sound can be heard.
I have switched off the onboard sound, added a PCI SB Live 64bit sound card and the music plays no issues, however, I lose the front panel, ie headphones etc.
So if anyone can shed some light on this so I can resolve it, that would be awesome.
It has been suggested that it could be the capacitors.
So my questions are as follows.
1) Could this be a capacitor issue
2) How can I find which capacitor it is
3) Where can I get a replacement
4) How difficult are they to replace and what tools do I need.
Thanks
