Yes its CRT. I think you must be right as I have tried everything else. How can I clean this without dying. Thanks On Monday 17 May 2004 14:15, The Purple Tiger wrote:

I have had a short fizzing sound in 9.1 every now and then (fizz,fizz,fizz,fizz,stop) The problem is that my screen in KDE stretches a little everytime and it has become very annoying. I have a seperate sound card and NVIDIA card, but am using the system sound board. It's the same if I use card or on board sound.
Is the fizzing coming from the speakers? Just a bit of a random thought, but are you using a CRT (Monitor) or a TFT style display?
If the CRT gets dusty/is in damp conditions, the HT(high tension, the 25kv used for the tube :)) can pre-arc (ions dissipate over the junction, like in an ioniser), causing electrical noise [a fizz] which may get amplified by the soundcard. This could also affect the display as it could affect the magnetic coils around the tube.
Or it could be something else ^_^ :)
Just a thought.
