MY USB HEADSET FOR SKYPE IS GOING THROUGH MY SPEAKERS PC
like, only have pc and speakers and monitor connected to a single powerbar, put on some music and then unplug the monitor. Isolate everything from unnecessary items, turn the speakers up, not the pc volume, and see if the buzz has gone. I assume the sensitivity came in fluctuations in power draw, as opposed to anything on the GPU PCB. the link with audio cable between pc/amp/xbox, joining it up across two sockets' access to earth was causing a persistent buzz, that for some reason was also sensitive to what i was doing on the pc. while the amp/pc/etc were all on the same power extender, the xbox was on the second one. I had both pc and xbox wired into my hi-fi amp. Much diagnosis and testing later i tracked the problem to be: my xbox? so i unplugged (not just turned off) the power extender that fed my external disk.

Some time later, i was noticing the buzz, and was checking usb possibilities. it also buzzed more when i moved the mouse/did anything that altered anything on the display. then i discovered it was there if i turned my amp up higher than usual, but the buzz was independent of the volume settings in windows. the buzzing was first noticed when i played skyrim. So, i'd start with the following questions: When using your headphones, are your speakers still connected to the back of the motherboard? are any of your speakers/pc/monitor/any other peripherals connected to a separate power-bar or socket? what speaker set-up are you using?Īgain, my case was super annoying. I'm not clear on the details of them myself, but the gist is that if an audio setup contains more than one access point to earth, it causes some noise. I'm going to be honest and say that it doesn't sound exactly like it, but i had similar-ish symptoms and ground loops are apparently often super hard to diagnose. This is going to sound like mumbo jumbo, but it could be something called a ground loop. As I said before, I think it may be caused by my GPU interfering with my motherboard's onboard audio since it seems to affect everything including my speakers, headphones and Skype mic. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for what the problem may be and how I can fix it. My friends on Skype have also noticed the same buzzing sound coming in through my mic when I talk to them, so this seems to be a system wide problem. The buzzing noise is always there regardless of whether I'm listening through speakers plugged into the back of the motherboard or using headphones connected to the green port at the front of my case. When I'm not playing a game and my GPU isn't working hard there is no problem at all and all audio is crystal clear. The frequency of the buzzing noise also fluctuates alongside my framerate in game, so higher framerates result in a higher pitched buzz. Whenever I play a game I get a buzzing noise through my speakers which I think is some sort of interference from my GPU. I built my first system 3 months ago and everything has been working perfectly except for one small issue.
