Buzzing sound when playing games [Onboard Audio]

[PGdude]

So whenever I'm playing videogames, 3D ones, that is, there is a really annoying buzzing sound. Such games include Left 4 Dead and Borderlands. The audio chipset is onboard, is there a known solution or should I get a decent enough audio card?

Update the audio drivers.

If you are able to (motherboard dependant) move your graphics card into an alternate slot so that it is further away from the onboard sound chip. This obviously depends on you having a second slot to move the graphics card.

Best of luck sorting this, I had a simmilar problem with a dedicated soundcard recently.

Best regards

Are you using the front panel headphone jack on your case ? if so this is the likely culprit try using the green jack at the rear.
