New build: ASUS TUF B850 Plus, 9800x3d, 5080. Just assembled it yesterday night. Experiencing some audio problems. Using a steel series wireless headset. When I boot up the PC, it takes a while for the sound to activate. It usually kicks in after roughly 30 seconds. While running the computer, I notice occasional load piercing ear bleeding noises, possibly linked to a system process or change. Opening a webpage triggers noise. Joining a Discord chat produces similar sounds. Starting a YouTube video also causes the issue. Also, launching a game results in complete audio loss. Discord works fine until the game starts, then it disappears immediately after closing the game. Once it restarts, Discord audio returns. Any suggestions or advice would be really helpful.

First I’d test with a wired connection. Does the problem persist? Also, should I use Bluetooth or 2.4GHz?

I just changed the dongle usb from the back inputs to the front of the case and it seems to be working now. Should i be concerned about the mobo?

I attribute it to interference or blockage. The same problem occurs with specific BT dongles. They function properly on the back but not on the front of my case.
