Hello,
Problem: There is silent buzzing, crackling, popping noises coming from the motherboards audio jack.
Motherboard: Asrock steel legend z490. It has Realtek ALC1200 Audio Codec if that helps.
My mother board was recently replaced by warranty (with a refurbished one), because the original one suddenly had sound issues (I tried to solve it here Loud static from motherboard audio jack), and now the replacement board has silent buzzing, crackling and (rare) popping noises, these noises are very quiet, but I spend quite some time at the computer with headphones on, and it gives me a headache. I guess it would not be noticeable for an average user, but it annoys me very much. The buzzing intensifies when I move the mouse (Razer Deathadder) but if I connect another mouse, the buzzing does not intensify.
Before the original broke, its audio jack was crystal clear. Now if I connect the headphones to the front panel audio jack, that use HD audio cable, the sound is clear as well, but it I would prefer the motherboard audio jack.
Is there anything I can do about it / fix it?
I really don't want a sound card.
Thank you.
