Problem with sound on new PC setup
Problem with sound on new PC setup
I built this setup perhaps a week ago. Since then, I've experienced some inconsistent audio issues. On my previous machine, everything worked smoothly without any static. But with this new build, my headphones keep producing constant static in the background. Turning the volume up makes it even more noticeable. I tried several fixes—plugging only the headphones into a laptop, using different ports, removing drivers, and even switching to a wireless model—but nothing resolved the problem. Could you offer any advice?
I attempted the adjustment in BIOS, yet the noise remains. Appreciate your quick reply!
It's disappointing, but people often mention things affecting audio by influencing the I/O die. You might consider disabling EXPO, for instance. If using a low-quality speaker setup, does it cause static? Have you experimented with incorrect device profiles? For example, treating headphones as speakers or swapping 5.1 to 2.0 channels.
If the issue lies between the jack and the sound chip, it makes sense. If it's between the sound chip and the CPU, it's less likely—you'd probably need a USB sound card instead.
