Buzzing from speakers

[markwilliams82]

I’ve recently noticed a buzzing from my speakers when using my PC

Happens when I start a game mainly but noticed it did it yesterday when moving around on google maps

Any ideas?

Using analogue out from motherboard? Try using a DAC inbetween motherboard and speakers. Insides of PC are noisy.

I use optical out from a dedicated soundcard, there is zero squeeling, hiss or buzzing from the speakers.

I’m using HDMI from graphics card into Marantz amp as I’ve got 5.1 speakers set up and Ps5 in my office

Strange. Try another source, if you get noise from other HDMI or analogue sources then not the PC.

Sometimes if speaker or analogue cables near power cables you can get hum.

Just seems strange when only using games and not general pc use

What if you use hdmi out from motherboard/IGPU?

Maybe try optical HDMI cables

Edit: doesn't look like Overclockers stock them maybe they could get some in...
