Hi guys!
Long time no see! That might be a good thing as I would normally post when I got issues - which is the case.
So I have a relatively new pair of monitor speakers (Eris E5), with which I had no issues until only recently (started a few weeks).
What happens is when I turn them on, they are buzzing really loudly and seem to pick up mouse movement and the static noise changes in different games.
I've recently changed to a new power hub / extension socket (whatever the correct term is) and my monitor, PC, router and both monitor speakers are plugged in. So I've tried plugging a speaker to another socket, but it did not help.
I've purchased a monitor controller (MoCo Esi), which reduces just slightly the noise, but it's still absurdly loud and annoying.
I've purchased also a week ago a new motherboard (which wasn't completely related, but hoped it will make things better). It is now Aorus Z390 Master. Should have a better sound card than my last Z270 Sli Plus, but I can't feel it at this point at all as the issue is somewhere else apparently.
I have tried plugging a single monitor (I am only using 1 even now as I won't be able to cope with the buzzing of 2) while there was no peripheral or USB cables plugged in - does not make a different.
My case is still open from recent hardware changes I did (installing the motherboard and a new CPU), so now I can hear something buzzing in the PC as well and it does not sound like any of the fans working in it. Maybe I am being overparanoid in that case, can't tell.
The cables I am using currently are:
Socket extension tower: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AAA0VWW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Cable from controller to motherboard: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XX6ML6Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Tried plugging directly the speaker to the PC as well, it is even worse.
At this point I can't think of anything else to add. When it comes to sound, the hardware side of it is like the purpose of life to me - a mystery. I didn't know I had to buy a mono cable for the speakers I have for instance. So excuse me if this is a dumb post and the fix is extremely easy. Just please - help me! I want to finally listen to some clear music and hear the noises in the game I play, not the static buzzing from the otherwise quality monitors.
Thanks in advance!

The cables I am using currently are:
- 1/4" inch from the monitor > 1/4" inch into the monitor controller
- 1/4" inch from the controller > 3.5 mm mono into the motherboard
