I have one of the gaming rigs from you (Got it in march). The sound card is an Asus Xonar DG. No problems at all until now. For some reason, there is a buzzing in the left channel. I use headphones exclusively, and have tested multiple pairs and all have the same buzzing.
To describe it, I can have the PC audio at any level (0-100%), but there will be a crackly-static in the left headphone/channel. I've been playing Skyrim (
), and noticed it when I booted up my game. I use a Creative Fatality headset and noticed it in game, but have switched to my old sennheiser budd earphones and can really hear the issue. Even with no sound playing, I can just listen to the left headphone and there's a crackling static, much like if you're on skype, and the other person has their mic volume up loud, exactly that sound. It also crackles when I do stuff on the computer (e.g browsing a web page up and down)
I've been trying to fix it via properties and such, but no luck. I've checked the jacks, i've opened the case and have had a little prod, nothing. I've reinstalled the driver and still nothing. I thought it could be the headsets microphone volume interfering, but again, no.
It's annoying, and actually a critical problem, because what do you need to play games....sound! It's annoying.
What else can I possibly do?
edit! :
I have just swapped out my card, and have but in an Asus Xonar DS! There is no left channel buzzing, but now the system volume is very quiet. At max settings, and MAX volume in the headset, the volume is barely what you would call average. At max Vol and Headset vol, my ears should be bleeding.
What the hell is going on!
