Speakers Buzz when playing games.

[jasonsansburn]

So, I've searched far and wide for an answer to this an have come up with nothing.

Specs:
MS 10 Home
MSI B150M (MS-7978)
Intel i5-6600
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
16GB RAM

So I'm 99% sure this is a driver issue. The buzzing only happens when playing games, or when the GPU is being used excessively. I can still here it a little when not gaming, but I have to listen very carefully. Here is what troubled me:
1. Started Battlefield 1.
2. Buzzing loudly.
3. Open task manager to eliminate other processes.
4. Ended task that was "Windows Explorer".
5. This crashed my desktop for some reason, and realized I never had a Windows Explorer open in the first place.
6. When the desktop crashed, the buzzing stopped completely. I played a buzz free Battlefield 1 for about an hour in sheer bliss, but decided to hone in on what fixed this.
7. Desktop was still crashed and was unable to ctrl+alt+del or anything.
8. Restart computer.
9. Start Battlefield 1.
10. Buzzes like crazy.
11. Opens task manager to try to recreate desktop crash.
12. Cries maniacally as nothing seems to work.

I'm very confused why my desktop crashing would stop the buzzing, but am convinced that this proves it's not electromagnetic interference, or bad wiring. I have two KRK Rokit 8 studio monitors that connect via 1/4" TRS cables to a Scarlett 8i6 audio interface that connects to my computer via USB. In playback devices it is separate from "Speakers" and is its own option as "Line out" with a sub header "Scarlett 8i6 USB device".

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

explorer.exe is windows desktop, so therefore you wont ctrl alt delete as windows isnt functioning to key log the command.

try:
control panel
sound
playback tab: only your speakers enabled as default (the sound board used for speakers). removing the possibility scarlet interface as the source of interference.
recording tab: only one microphone selected as default (or none if you dont have one). disable stereo mix (take a note of its settings if it is enabled).

communications tab: select do nothing - it maybe posible that windows is believing there is a comms device trying to voip and therefore fiddling with your sounds, changing this to mute all will prove this theory as all your sound will become mute if windows believes a device is trying to make a call.

Are you using hdmi sound from your graphics card? driver issue perhaps at fault?
