I understand this might seem unusual, but the problem mainly appears in games and is moderate. Music playback works fine, but gaming becomes much harder when you listen to music. I'm not sure what's causing it. My speakers are analog devices, so I wonder if adding a PS/2 keyboard would help. I've tried several fixes—replugging the auxiliary cable, restarting the speakers, disabling the GPU, changing the speaker outlet on the power strip, and even restarting my monitor when I restarted the speakers—which resolved the issue with the HDMI cable. It's not just the speakers; another low-end pair is involved too. The problem continues there as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It’s not an analog setup, just a slower one. Explain the cable layout. Replacing memory requires opening the case, meaning you should verify the internal wiring.

It was just like they said, I didn’t really handle them and moved on to the RAM installation. Since I’m using an older case, the components are packed tightly.

Wow! That kind of sticky dust really stands out. Are you into smoking? I’d probably focus more on the front panel audio cable input/output connection. It looks somewhat similar to a USB-to header, though it’s definitely not the same. Magnetic interference from nearby fields can be quite unusual, especially when considering where the cable enters and passes through components. The rear panel connection point is another area to investigate. I’m not sure what motherboard you’re using, but if I had the model, I could search for the manual online.

it's an ASUS Z170-A (you might recognize it from my profile). Not smoking it—India’s dust is too much. It’s only been 3-4 months since it collected this much. My brother probably installed the RAM for me; maybe he made a mistake. When I connected my USB Wi-Fi adapter, it showed an unknown device error, and the front audio ports aren’t working either. They could be swapped. This seems likely to be causing the problem. I’d call him to fix it.

There’s a lot of leftover oil residue left over. I’ll have to clean it up soon. The front audio connections aren’t working properly—it’s a serious issue. The plug I mentioned might be missing, or the device could have been taken out entirely. It’s pretty rough. It looks like I can’t find any clear instructions because every site I search for demands I sign a lengthy legal form before accessing their services, essentially telling me to hand over my data and treat me like nothing special. That sounds like we’re just another target. I really need to install a TOR browser for these kinds of sites.

I have access to the direct PDF link for your board manual.

This approach will function. Considering sections 1-2 and 1-3 suggests interest in 19 and 20. Section 14 & 15 might be uncertain. The entire segment appears to have been altered. Edited on January 28, 2023 by Bombastinator
