Ok so when im on my pc without any game loaded or even with a game loaded but not as the active window my PC sound is completely fine with nothing weird going on, although the minute I load up a game even if i turn all the games sound settings to off, my speakers have this weird whine sound coming out of them? but if i plug a headset in the front panel jack they do not get this whine..

any ideas whats going on ive literally just freshly built my rig and im confused massively!

cheers guys any help is appreciated!
 
should mention I use an amplifier as my speaker dont ask why its just what I had and it sits on the floor and was always easy for playing music on my old system I never had this issue, and as I say whenever theres headphones in the front audio jack no bad sound, if i plugged the amps wire into this headphone jack same issue, wondering what the issue is tbh? maybe a setting on the comp or something? ive tried this with my sound card xonar dgx, and also with the onboard audio and don't get what is going on ha! please help me guys!
 
So, onboard and sound card work ok, but the minute you bring the amplifier into the equation, you get the whining. That about right?
 
believe so, although im thinking of getting rid of the sound card anyway as its not recognizing when i plug a headset into the front port which is extremely annoying lol so think ill stick with onboard, but yeah thats right mate but it worked perfectly fine on my old pc so i dont understand why it would start this whine sound now?

the cable is a 3.5mm to an amp jack (cant remem the tech term for them lol assuming you'll know)
 
now im even more confused because it has stopped randomly and not happening anymore but i guarnatee itll come back hah grr!
 
so its the amp tahts actually whining i turned all of my system volume down and off and still whines, when the cables attached to pc, yet when its not running a game no whining sound regardless hmm this seems really weird? :/
