Hello,
So I'll run through the problem and what I've tried. I wanted to plug my little speaker into my PC so I didn't have to wear my wireless headset all the time. Got a bunch of static and noise consistently.
I made sure it had nothing to do with the speaker and can confirm that is clear by plugging it into my iPad. I gave my monitors a try since in theory that would work. All three have the same static buzzing noise. If I unplug the display port from them it stops. Also tried to plug into my monitor jack on my audio interface same noise.
Eventually, frustrated, I gave up and I plugged in my iPad after giving up, that works fine. But what really has me confused is, on a whim, I plugged in my USB-C to lightning cable from my PC to my iPad, and I got the same noise. I then just took the USB-C side and pressed it against metal motherboard ports, same static. Even the screw holes for VGA on the motherboard make a static noise come through. It almost strikes me as a grounding problem, but it continues through all cables, so I don't really know how to fix that.
I'm really at a loss of what to do here. Any suggestions?
