I don't know about totem but when In stream videos is when it happens weather it be yahoo news or a movie. My system is a sony viao desktop. The static not only comes from my built in speakers but my externals as well.

So it's like this picture?
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PCV-RS720G-Desktop-Pentium-Processor/dp/B000301N94
And it's got an "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900" hybrid graphics card, a module that is integrated on the motherboard?

Pentium 4 Cpu 3.0 GHz with 512Mb ddr ram?

Sounds like it's a very good spec. and should work well. I wonder if this link will help you set-up all the multi-media stuff a lot better than standard?
