Weird screeching noise when running TGB (T2D) 1.7.5 Pro
by Miguel Valles Susin · in Technical Issues · 08/04/2011 (11:26 am) · 6 replies
When launching Torque Game Builder on my PC, it makes this funny and annoying noise. It's hard to explain, it's some kind of high-pitched screeching, and the most weird thing is that it seems to only happen in my screen: I disconnected the audio entrance from my PC and still continued. It also seems to be related with the color display on screen, because it becomes more noisy when the main color is white and almost silent when it is black. And it does not only happen when running TGB, it also happens when executing scenes or games created under the engine, and with other programs like TimelineFX Editor. Someone knows why does this happen to me? I'm afraid this affects my games if exec'd in other PCs.
Some basic info about my PC, just in case it's related to this issue i'm experiencing:
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit
Asus custom Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 DirectCU II, 1280Mb GDDR5 DirectX11
(screen) BenQ E2220HD 22'' LCD FullHD - resolution set at 1920x1080

I'll try in the BenQ forums, maybe it is some kind of problem related to their products.

I did so and I'm still experiencing trouble. I've tried disconnecting the audio input to the screen (the speakers connection, I mean), and the noise is still there, so I assume it is something related to my screen. Maybe it has to be with the resolution (1920x1080) or frequency (60Hz) configuration of my display device? I'm confused, because now I've double-checked this issue with other software and it is not a TGB-only thing.I'll try in the BenQ forums, maybe it is some kind of problem related to their products.

I havent see something like that since the times of the TFT's. On that times, the problem was frequency, on exhausted monitors.I dont have idea what could be the case with yours, I suggest to broad the search to google.

Chris did some quick Googling and turned up a hit where someone was having a similar issue with a GTX 590. The solution from that one was to enable VSync.

Ah, then it's definitely hardware failing. Most likely a fan on a component that doesn't get tapped until a resource heavy program runs like the video card or power supply.

Thank you very much!! The problem was completely solved in my PC (GTX 570) by activating the VSync when executing the software.
