I can replicate this every time after starting from shut down and opening the YouTube page. This also occurred once whenever I changed a setting in my NVidia control panel, but I could not replicate that again, so I am unsure what the issue is. I just got a new motherboard and CPU, and I was very happy with it until this happened. As buggy as my previous board was, this never happened. Other than this, there have been no problems whatsoever. I am connected with a q990c soundbar through EARC, while the GPU runs HDMI to the TV. I am set on Dolby Atmos home theater in my sound settings and all audio enhancements are disabled.

Something to note is that you may notice the pitch/tone of the buzz change whenever I get a notification for GHUB DPI in the bottom right corner. Hopefully that's helpful information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I just got a new motherboard and CPU
Did you reinstall your OS?

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? I would also try and see if you can manually uninstall your audio drivers, then reinstall in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator. Use DDU to remove all GPU drivers, then manually reinstall in the method mentioned above.

You forgot to the mention the make and model of your PSU. Include it's age as well.

Hello!
Thanks for the help.

I am on bios version 7E12v182. I reinstalled my OS completely and formatted both SSDs, as I did not have any saved content on my previous PC that was dire.

The PSU is an MSI MPG a1000G PCIE5. It is a year old.

I will try to do that as well.
