I have the Rosewill CAPSTONE 650W 80 PLUS GOLD PSU. I have narrowed the noise down to this. It happens even if I take the PSU out of my computer and plug it in by itself and switch it on. The best I can describe it as is a pulsing high pitched whistle. I can sometimes not hear it, other times it is soft and my music easily drowns it out, but randomly it gets REALLY loud for a few pulses. The system load doesn't seem to affect the noise at all.
Well, I have been bearing with it because I usually have headphones on and I can't hear it over those when gaming or listening to music. Now I am wanting to use a mic however... and the problem is becoming more apparent.
I have the Sound Blaster Z PCIe sound card, my headphones (AKG Q701s if it matters) plug straight into the back of that. The front panel is not useable, I think it is interference from my GTX-760, just a constant slight buzzing, but not present at all from the main headphone port on the back.
Back to the mic. The only mic I have is with my MEElectronics AP161 IEMs, I use the headphone/mic splitter jack that came with them and plug them in (only the mic) to the mic port on the Sound Blaster. I can very clearly hear the pulsing tone in all my recordings, the mic is very sensitive as well so it is especially loud.
Why is this happening? I get that coil whine happens with PSUs sometimes, but why can I hear nothing through my headphones yet the mic picks it up? The PSU is under warranty, but will this happen again with the same model if I RMA?
Thanks in advance.
