Hi all
I've been having this issue since I've made my computer and I can't figure it out. I know many threads have posted similar issues like this, but I have a computer/rf/electrical noise coming from my HS50m monitors that gets louder when the computer is under stress. It sounds like this audio clip from a similar thread but a little higher pitched:
It has outputted the same sound from usb into my firestudio interface as well as usb to my scarlet 2i2 interface. It has also made the sound when I took the onboard 1/8" audio from my motherboard and split the signal to RCA, into 1/4" into my HS50ms. I can't test the xlr because I don't have an interface with XLR outs, but if I use the same audio chain and plug the scarlett into my macbook, there is no electrical noise.
Here's the weird part, I know it's not my mobo or psu because I brought it to a friend's house and there was no electrical noise when I used his usb connection to send to his active monitors (adam a7's i believe).
I can plug headphones into the interface or the onboard audio and the static won't be there. It has to be some sort of ground loop with my active speakers, but I've tried using two different power strips and even plugging in the speakers into a different outlet than the cpu, all to no avail.
I'm willing to spend money to fix this problem, I just have exhausted all ideas on what piece to replace. It's been so frustrating.
Here are my specs:
intel core i5-4690k quad core 3.5ghz
gigabyte ga-z97x-ud7
corsair rm650
ballistix tactical 8gb (2x4gb)
Any help is much appreciated!
