Hello all, for years only really used basic pc speakers Logitech what have you. Got myself some Mackie crx5bt and the cr8sxbt sub I like them seem fantastic for the money. However, when I load a game, some interference coming through. Does not happen any other time, just when loading games or playing a game.
I know very little when it comes to audio, just wondering if anyone has a clue what this could be ?

3.5 jack into green slot on the board.

Thanks to all that reply and help : )
 
Sounds like electrical noise is getting into the soundchip on the mobo.
If it does it when loading games, this would point to the CPU or SSD. (you could test this out by listening to some music while creating a large zip file).

I'd first make experiment to sure that all the cables are routed away from the mobo and that the SSD cable is not running parallel to the power cables.
Also made sure that the audio cable out to the speakers is not running parallel to any other cables.
Maybe try an audio cable with shielding.

If all else fails, you may need to consider an external soundcard of some sort (which typically sound a lot better than modo chipsets anyway, despite the big claims that mobo manufacturers make about how amazing their sound chip is).
