Ok, here's how it stands now. I'm running on an Intel Socket 478 mobo (2.8ghz P4 northwood). The box, monitor, and speakers are all plugged into the same power strip, which is plugged into the wall. I have the speaker cable plugged into the Digital Output on the SB Live sound card, with the settings on Digital Output Only, which is the only way I get any sound. Unfortunately, the static is there also. I tried unplugging the speaker cable from the cpu and touching it with my finger. The static didn't happen then. I can still play music and such, but the static is always there. As soon as the sound stops, the static grows back up. And just to clear this up, the speakers are powered by a single plug coming from the subwoofer. The desktop speakers and cables to the cpu plug into the subwoofer itself and receive their power from there.
