Hi all
I recently got a new PC and I'm getting a buzzing sound from the speakers when gaming (e.g. playing Cyberpunk). It's fine when the game is paused but when in action it's a problem. I initially also had a bad whine in menus but I fixed that by enabling V-Sync. This wasn't an issue with my old PC.
I'm currently using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 external sound card that I've now got plugged into a powered USB socket extender. I've tried plugging the speakers into a different socket to the PC and using different power extenders. I think the entire upstairs of the house is on the same circuit so can't try a different circuit. I'm using balanced XLR to Jack cables to go from soundcard to speaker. Graphics card is a Nvidia 3060TI.
I'm thinking it's a grounding/power issue as I can turn off the USB power which kills the sound but the speakers are still on and will still buzz in game. If I unplug the soundcard from the USB it will stop the buzzing (speakers are still on and game is still running but obviously without sound). If I've got headphones on and the speakers off there's no buzzing. I'm not great at moving PC parts around and would want to avoid moving my graphics card. Is there any other things I can try to eleminate the noise?
Thanks!
