Hi Guys. I am getting huge amounts of interferance/noise coming from my active studio monitors. They are connected to a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 USB sound card via balanced 3.65mm jack cables. This is in turn connected to my PC via USB cable. The level of noise/interferance increases dramatically when I run a 3d application such as a game and thus im thinking it must be EMI coming from the PSU or GPU? The noise becomes litte-none if i change the power management settings in windows onto 'power saver' but is still just as bad when I run a game (which is the primary use of this PC) I replaced the PSU recently (the old one died) and hoped the problem would be better after but it is now alot worse. Its really starting to drive me mad and now im wearing headphones all the time (USB ones) and these dont have any interferance at all.
Extra notes:
-> PC + Monitor + Speakers are all plugged into the same surge protected gang.
-> Tested NI Komplete 6 on all USB ports (problem persists)
-> Tested different 3.65mm jack cables (problem persists)
-> Im fairly certain the noise/interference is an electrical sound (grainy, high pitched squeel (low pitch hum too when i run games), fuzzy)
-> Considering getting a https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/di-box/behringer-hd-400-hum-destroyer could help
Any thoughts?
