Hi!
I've got a new PC (see specs below) and I noticed that there's a lot of static/buzzing sound in my headphones, including a high-pitched sound that "goes up and down". It gets louder when I move the mouse and it gets really annoying up to a point that it's giving me a headache and I can't use my headphones anymore - even on low-ish volume.
It's base sound is similar to the sound you hear when you're wearing cheap headphones while walking through [URL=https://5.imimg.com/data5/PD/YY/MY-2994193/anti-shoplifting-devices-500x500.jpg]these[/URL] anti-shoplifting devices.
Specs:
- Win 10
- Z390 Taichi
- i9-9900k
- MSI Gaming X GTX 1070 (in PCIe 2)
- Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32gb
- Logitech X-140
- Roccat Nyth
- Roccat Horde
BT and Wifi are disabled (antennas aren't screwed in).
I used the speakers, the headphone, mouse and keyboard on my old PC too and I didn't experience the problem there. The speakers are plugged into the rear audio port (green) of the motherboard and the headphones are plugged into the speakers.
I replugged the audio cable - didn't help.
I removed nVidia's HD audio driver - didn't help.
I unplugged mouse+keyboard - it's still there.
I unplugged the headphones - still there when I turn the speakers up to the max.
How do I fix this?
Is this a problem with audio drivers?

Is the OS a fresh install? If not, that may fix the issue.

@RLGL
Yes, it's a completely fresh Win 10 install with the latest bios and the lastest drivers.

If you know how, you might have to clear the bios and set it up again.
I have a sound issue to but it's different.

Forgot to mention, are you using the latest Realtek drivers?
Also have you tried using the audio on the front panel of your system?

My sound issue was fixed by updating the bios from P4.2 to P4.3.
Why that update fixed the problem I have no idea.
Maybe the original bios loading from the manufacturer was glitched.
