Interference - GPU or soundcard?

Right, had some interference from my speakers ever since I updated the PC. I added the sound card & GPU at the same time.

I've added a link to a short video below showing the sound. All I have to do is move the mouse and I get noise. Loading up the GPU makes it worse.

Originally I had the Xonar above the GPU, but I've now moved it to the lowest slot of the mobo. I've disconnected the front ports.

Your thoughts? - I'm thinking sound card.

Soundcard not in signature - will edit it now.

Card is an Asus Xonar DGX

Having it at the bottom made no difference. In that video, the cards are as far away as possible.

No interference from the mobo sound. I'm still thinking its the soundcard at fault.

No modem near.

All the cables are behind the case, so close to each other. Would that affect it? It sounds to me like the interference is before the amp on the sound card if that makes sense?
I'll move the cables about tonight and see if it makes a difference.
I don't think I've got the noise on optical out. Need to confirm tonight though.

Been doing some Googling, found a post of mine from the forum! It obviously fixed itself and I forgot about it! haha

I get the noise no matter which setting I use. It's certainly louder with the amp switched on in headphone mode though.

Bailey helped me out in the CS section, but it's now out of warranty. Not sure which one to buy next?

Was thinking about a Sound Blaster this time. Wasn't too happy with the Asus software
