Hello all, I recently purchased M-Audio BX5 D2 speakers as a step in upgrading my audio. When connecting the speakers to the rear 3.5 mm on the motherboard I am getting constant noise coming from the speakers.

Different frequencies and tones appear when moving the mouse or using the PC in general. I am running a Maximus VIII Hero board.

I had no issues running my soundbar via optical from the motherboard and the speaker work fine via other sources (phone for example).


Will a soundcard fix this issue or would I be better buying an amp that will take optical in and feeding the speakers via the amp?

Any help appreciated.
 
I have been looking at the cambridge audio dacmagic plus, anyone have any experiences with this piece of hardware?
