Hey guys,

With my first pc i built here and its running everything well ,problem is i can't figure out my audio.

I have a turtle beach headset connected via front usb and audio jack at the front that works flawlessy so im presuming thats proof the onboard card is itself fine.

However i have a pioneer stereo amplifier (prob 8 years old at least if that could be a problem?) that when i connect via the rear audio jack has a bad stutter/white noise in the backround. It will play sound on you tube /netflix etc but little buzz below audio. Then when i load up games the audio freaks out and buzzes so loud its unusable although could this be since im not connecting via gpu? (gtx 970 palit)

pc is connected to monitor dvi-dvi so no audio diversions available to me.

I've tried splitting the audio jack at the front from the turtle beach to the stereo as well but buzz remains .

I've tried switching the stereo jack into the turtle beach audio jack (in line amp) dosent work at all.

I've tried only front jack, only back, no turtle beach at all, disabling front when rear is connected and vice versa, tried changing audio frequescies (on 24bits and 48hz at mo). Changer how pc recognises the jack from headphones to speakers still no luck.

Also the audio manager thats inbuilt is realtech hd audio manager.

And lastly the sound system is perfect never had static before and ive tried moving my mobile but it dosent seem to be signal interference from that. I do have a laptop on top of the sound system tho i wonder could that inferfere.? Once again tho it never did before.

help would be appreciated

thanks guys

Try removing the laptop from on top of your system. And your computer's PSU could also cause the buzzing if it's near your sound system. As when you start a game, it loads up on the PSU and could cause the buzz.

Also, try to play some audio through your system by other means, like phone and laptop(?) while keeping it at the same place. If you still hear the static/buzz, it could be a ground loop problem. Try connecting the sound system to the other wall socket that does not shares the wiring with your computer.
