I am having this issue where no matter what I am playing or where (from any dac, amp, port (tried line out, 3.5mm, optical, USB) I am having this distortion. I have tried everything to fix it (roll back audio drivers, mobo bios etc) and nothing works. The only exception is Bluetooth which has no issue. I don't see how this could be happening especially with optical because it is only getting light from the PC. All of the audio is plugged into a different powerstrip, but the same outlet.

Specs:
5800x
x470 gaming 7
3080

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Can you please add the make and model of your PSU and it's age? BIOS version for your motherboard would a good piece of info to add. Have you tried working with another wall outlet? Also, have you verified that the wall outlet is grounded?
