I experience interference depending on what appears on the screen. The audio shifts when scrolling on a website for a while, the sound changes when hovering over Steam in Chrome, and the noise consistently increases and becomes more chaotic during gameplay. It seems like my GPU is getting strained. I’ve tried various USB ports and interfaces, messy wiring under the desk, but speakers are powered via their own UPS units—both work the same whether on or off. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It seems like you're wondering if the sound is coming from the speakers or the card. The audio is quite noticeable and has a deeper tone.

Gather more details such as your computer specifications and any devices nearby. Start by keeping your audio cables away from video cables and the computer case as much as possible. This usually resolves the issue. If it doesn’t work, interference from power sources or capacitors might be the cause. Try using a different power supply to see if it improves things. For failing capacitors, it’s hard to tell unless they show signs of swelling or leakage. Finally, verify that all cables and connectors are securely attached—loose ones can also cause noise. Good luck!
