If nothing else works, go buy a $10 pair of shielded PC speakers.
They'll probably sound better than monitor built-in speakers, anyway.

Now, if *those* speakers beep, even if you move them away from your
monitor, then you've got some interference in the line-out in your PC.
Either take it back or buy a new soundcard.

I just bought a SR1055CL-B bundle at Costco. It comes with a FP3717 17"
flat screen. The monitor seems to have a very slight beep to it, about once
a second. Why is this? if I play with the volume, nothing happens.
Resetting the machine does not help. It's just loud enough to be a pain and
annoyance. Anyone know what's up or have any suggestions? Thanks.
