Hum in speakers while playing

Hello

I have a little problem and I have no clue how to deal with it. Since I bought Palit RTX 3080 I have a problem with hum in speakers when I am playing games. The more demanding game is the more hum I have. I am almost sure this is GPU relating problem because I didn't have any problem like that when I was running GTX 1080.
my setup:
- i7 10700K
- Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Pro AX
- Palit RTX 3080
Also, I am using Sound Blaster ZxR
I was reading about coil whine, but if I good understand in this case problem is coming from the GPU. In my case, the hum is coming from speakers. Is there any way to fix the problem?
 
now this rings a bell changed monitors at the weekend and used to use the built in speakers just for everyday things and headphones otherwise

these dont have speakers so pluged in my old bluetooth speaker used to use this on my older computer with no issues

but this also has a constant hum it also caused a crackle on my heaphones while plugged in very random indeed
 
How are speakers connected to PC? If it’s through an analog connection I’d try a ground loop isolator (around a tenner on a large forest named retailer)
 
I think mine might have been to close to the router will try again tonight maybe use the bluetooth dongle
