This one is confusing me...
I just built a new PC, which uses the same audio setup and cables I had before, but there's a really annoying screeching noise (generally quite quiet unless you jack the volume right up, but some games amplify it really badly).
I took out the 3.5mm jack from the PC and plugged it in to another audio source (my phone) and no interference at all, even at high volume.
I plugged it in to a different (front of case headphone) output on the PC... screeching again.
I plugged headphones in to what I now presumed to be the offending outputs. No interference.
So if there's nothing wrong with the sound system, cable or jack AND there's nothing wrong with any of the outputs on the PC, why on earth does this screeching interference happen with a particular setup?!
Some system info: msi Z170 gaming m7 mobo using integrated Realtek audio (yes, i have uninstalled and re-installed drivers).... that's all i can think of that's relevant!
Cheers for any help
