Hello, while I was watching a movie on my desktop windows xp and suddenly my earphones sounded like a jet plane and it wouldn't stop. So I went to the control panel and by luck ended the noise by muting the wave control on my master volume . I was wondering why it decided to do this on its own and have I really fixed the problem?

Yes the annoying sound did return when I unmuted it even with no application running. But then the problem fixed itself , it was nothing I did. It sounded like air being blown through the headphones. Really loud.
