" rel="nofollow - [URL=][/URL]Hi everyone
I wonder if i'm the only experiencing a lot of humming and electrical noises coming From speakers when connected to the onboard audio out, like filtering was not working properly.

Had an Asus x370 prime pro and a asrock z97 extreme 4 before and never had this kind of problem...
Could be something faulty on MB?

I use sensitive m-audio bx8 d2, maybe integrated audio is that bad quality?

" rel="nofollow - Why in heavens name do you connect a $500.00US pair of speakers to onboard audio?

Italy is going through some power supply and generation issues. Could this humming be related?

349 Results implies it's a localized issue to deal with.

Check your cable routing and jack connections. Odds are it is being introduced at/into one of these two.

Also, no electrical strip power these monitors, right?

Is the AC on in your home? Fridges or any other large appliance?

" rel="nofollow - Hello Wardog,

Sorry for the late answer.

I used this speakers with the same cable configuration on two previous onboard audio cards: an asrock z97 and a prime x370, and had no any problem.

Also used other speakers on this and i'm having the same problem.

Also i'm not aware of any problem with electrical supply here, i live in one of richest regions of italy and europe, thus we have very good infrastructures.

Also connected to other sources the speakers work just fine.

Suppose motherboard is faulty, or it has some problems with shielding...

What you mean with localized issue?

Thank You
