Hi,
My new PC has a Gigabyte B365M MB. i.7 windows 10. I had it built just for audio. I was really disappointed when I got it home and heard the noisy audio output. I have been doing a lot of research and to my dismay, have found all of the audio problems pertaining to win 10. and realtek. When I use powered speakers the noise is unbearable, but when I use the headphones, I don't seem to hear any noise! This pertains to the front AND rear audio out jacks. I am currently waiting on a firewire card so I can hook up my FW mixer, but even when I have my mixer, there is always those hours of editing in which I like to turn OFF the mixer and use the internal card, and it would be nice to not hear all kinds of buzzing and noises. The other day I was unplugging some usb speakers and it shorted out something and the PC restarted by itself. Maybe some kind of ground problem? Anyway, I want to narrow it down and I wont be using the front panel stuff anyway, so I would like to disconnect the connectors from the M.B. They are clearly marked so Im not worried about that. My question, is it safe to just unplug them from the MB? No settings to change? Also, all of my USB stuff stays on after the PC shuts down. Whats up with that?? Oh yea, my realtek manager is not available either!..)Really Microsoft??) but I don't even want to mess with that after reading about all of the problems .
Thanks, Cheers
