Attention required: Sound issues from speakers detected. Review instructions carefully.
I assembled the PC in September 2022. Recently, while using Photoshop and monitoring CPU usage, I experienced a loud analog CRT TV noise lasting about 10-15 seconds. To stop it, I had to mute all background music. After that time, the issue resolved itself. I’m trying to figure out why this happens. It only occurs when something is playing in the background. When nothing is playing, there’s no noise during those moments. Also, the noise seems linked to the volume level—higher volumes produce louder sounds. If the volume is off, there’s silence. But if I play something during that 10-15 second window, the noise returns. This problem is now happening daily and is quite bothersome.

Begin troubleshooting by turning off your monitors speakers in Windows. If the noise disappears, one or more installed programs are responsible. When speakers are disabled in Windows, set the volume to 0 in the monitor settings. This may resolve the problem, indicating a short in the monitor. If the issue persists after adjusting the volume and disabling speakers, there could be an electrical interference source. Consider removing the monitor from the UPS or connecting it to another circuit. I’ve noticed similar problems when a monitor is placed near a microwave, especially on the same power line.
Thank you for your feedback. Your monitor lacks audio output, but your external 2.1 speaker works fine. I suspect RF interference might be the issue. It seems to occur during spikes in CPU usage, especially while using Photoshop.

For testing, relocate them away from your computer—across the room or unplug them—to see if the interference diminishes. If moving them isn't feasible, consider past solutions like enclosing speakers in a simple cage. The noise could also stem from your amplifier or the speaker's connection point. When speakers are connected to your PC, verify all cables are securely attached; loose wires can damage a case and generate sound. Ultimately, opt for shielded equipment and an appropriate amplifier, as even Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or power supplies can produce enough RF to disrupt unshielded speakers.
