It is a possibility that you are getting feedback from a device that is near by. Possibly a cell phone or other device. I would recommend moving the computer to a different location and removing all electronic devices from beside the computer, then reconnecting speakers.
It is also possible that you have a bad sound card. If that is the case, you will need to purchase another sound card and replace the old one. I have included instructions on how to replace your sound card below:
Here is a site where you can purchase the sound card you may be in need of:

There are other sites such as Ebay where you can also purchase the sound card. The type of sound card you need is a PCMCIA Sound Card for an Acer Laptop.
Here are instructions on how to install a new sound card:
Installing a PCMCIA Sound Card in Your Acer Laptop
-
Step 1
Locate the PCMCIA card slot on your computer. On an Acer laptop, the slot may be either on the left or the right side of the laptop.
-
Step 2
Remove the PCMCIA card cover by pressing the "Eject" button and pulling the cover out.
-
Step 3
Insert your PCMCIA sound card with the connectors facing in and the upper label facing up. Some PCMCIA cards will have an arrow to make it easier to orient the card correctly.
-
Step 4
Press the PCMCIA card gently into place.
-
Step 5
Windows will recognize the PCMCIA card and search for the needed software.
-
Step 6
If your sound card came with an installation CD, insert it in the CD slot and follow the instructions to install applications and utilities for use with your new sound card.
Installing a USB Sound Card in Your Acer Laptop

-
Step 3
Wait for the computer to recognize the new USB device.

Insert the sound card manufacturer's CD if prompted to do so.
If a sound card is not the issue, then you possibly have circuitry issues on your laptop motherboard. For this issue, you may need to consult a certified technician at your local computer repair shop.
(If you are not a professional or are used to opening your laptop, I would recommend taking it to a local computer repair shop for a certified technician to look at this issue. Do bare in mind if you have a warranty, opening your laptop and not being a certified professional would void any warranty agreement you have with your manufacturer)
