Default Trying to find the squeak

I have a 97 civic that is making a squeaking noise coming from the belts. I feel its is not the belts though. The belts look fine there is no cracks or that any of them are shinny. I did find out though, if I turn on the A/C the squeak stops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take the A/C belt off and spin the compressor and idler pulleys to see if they squeak, rumble, etc. They should be silent spinning by hand, and no wobble. You can start the engine with the belt off and see if it squeaks, if not it's definitely something A/C related.
