Could also be something simple - are the speaker cables plugged in properly? Plug them in and give them a few twists back and forth to clean off the connectors. Check for something that may be pinching the wires (wires under the computer for example). Also, try shaking the wires, maybe there is an intermittent break, somewhat common next to the plugs.

I'm beginning to suspect something other than the computer. Have you tried moving the system itself to a different location? Make sure there is no interference from any power conduits in the wall or a wireless router. Also, make sure there are no cell phones, or any other device that uses an OTA (over the air) signal, in the same room as the system.
As it happens intermittently, my suspicion would lean more towards the cell phone. Some badly shielded phones will produce a buzzing in speakers when they verify their signal with the local cell tower.
One other thing you might look at is the printer drivers. I remember an issue I had several years ago with an HP driver that caused an interrupt issue with the sound. In my case it would cut out for just a split second, but enough to be noticeable. This might be a variation on the same problem.
Good luck!

*I've done several recoveries and never had this problem. I got this ASUS computer in 2009 and never had this problem before.
It's not the speakers, we tried a different set.
