I just put my new computer together and I am having a problem with my new build. Whenever I move my mouse I seem to get a high pitched noise that comes through the speakers. I installed new audio drivers but it didn't seem to help and I have also tried different usb ports and still not solution. Does anybody have and info that could help me in this situation. My system specs are down below but if you need any information do not be afraid to ask.


System Specs:

Intel i7-4790k
ASUS Z97 Pro-gamer
Corsair RM650
MSI GTX 660
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
Fractal Define R4
Roswill Wireless PCI card
JBL LSR305 Studio Monitors

If I were you, I'd try the simple fixes first:

"Solution: I was amazed at how simple it was... I ended up switching the speakers power plug directly to a wall instead of a power strip. Just try to make sure that the outlet you are grounding your speakers on is a nice clean ground (I have no idea how to test the integrity of a ground)."

"I had this probelm and managed to sort it: Optical cable.

I had a high pitched sound coming through my speakers which would get worse with gpu and mouse usage, it was driving me nuts. I had an aux/rca cable going from the line out of my m/b into my amp/speakers, I swapped my auc cable with an optical audio cable and the sound was gone. Cost me £13 from Curry's.

Optical cables (s/pdif, toslink) are...

How do you have your speakers connected? Have you tried using the case's front USB ports for your mouse? Maybe the mouses's signals are resonating and being picked up by your speakers.

Right now I have my speakers coming out from the 3.5mm jack with this cable to 1/4 ts ends that go directly to the speakers. I have also tried the mouse in different rear usb ports as well as the front ports. Any other possibilities?

I gave that thread a read, but now i think i am more confused than before. I know there is a ton of useful information in that post, but 99% of it went over my head. I don't understand the whole ground loop and grounding other equipment.

Optical cables (s/pdif, toslink) are not susceptible to electrical problems such as ground loops and RF interference."

However, your speakers don't have an optical port, so you may need something like this, which I don't know how much it costs: http://www.monarchyaudio.com/DIP_Classic_Main_Frame.htm


If those 2 solutions don't work, then I'd do what the other couple of ppl did which involved grounding things. Or maybe do the ground things first if buying that converter is too complicated.
