Sound Problems, Hardware or Drivers?

Hi,

Sorry about the title, but the problem is hard to explain, so I'll do may best and hope someone knows what I mean.

If I'm watching a video from google, or listening to music via WMP, or even if I get a message on msn (you get the sound notifying you when you get one) - if I'm typing at any of these times, or even if there is anything to do with sound currently happening, I get "background" interference through the speakers. It isn't a proper "echo" of the keys being struck or anything, just like interference, like the noise when trying to tune in a radio or something.

I've asked numerous people about this, so don't know where to go from here. I don't have a mircophone switched on, I've tried a different keyboard and it still happened. Could it be the speakers/soundcard or what?

I have a Yamaha soundcard, but I've also seen something to do with Legacy Audio drivers too. I have a Sony VAIO 160GB, 1024 RAM, Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 installed. Unfortunately I can't recall when this first started happening.

Any ideas anyone?
