Hello, i have noticed a strange problem with my new system (<6 months). Every now and then (like 1 day in a week or 2 weeks), i hear a strange noise from my headset or speakers which sounds like the noise that is produced when you plug them or some kind of interference. It is not too loud but its pretty annoying and if the day starts with this problem although i may shut down the pc and start it after a few minutes the issue persists for the whole day. I even heard the noise a few times after the pc was shut down in my headset. Both speakers and headset are audio jack and the first are connected in the motherboard but the last is connected in the front port of the case. Of course i tried switching the ports or something without any results. Also, i tried to update the audio drivers but it didn't work. I use the pc every day for hours btw.
My setup:
r5 5600x
4070 gigabyte gaming oc
2x16gb ram kingston
msi b550 tomahawk max wifi
bequiet psu 750w platinum
dark rock 4 air cooler
bequiet 500 fx case

I would be glad to see any ideas. Thank you.
 
What OS are you working with?

If you're using the motherboard's onboard audio chip/solution, what BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? Can you elaborate on how you updated the drivers? You're ideally asked to uninstall the drivers, then without rebooting, manually reinstall your audio driver(sourced from motherboard maker's support page) in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator, assuming you're on Windows OS.
