Hello guys.
I have a weird problem. Didn't even realize it until I hooked up a microphone - it gets a bad buzzing background noise, no matter if I use the on-board Realtek jack or a USB Asus Xonar U3. Now here's the deal: when I touch the case the noise fades and if I put my finger on any of the empty USB ports on top (I have a Thermaltake Suppressor F31 case) it basically stops (abruptly if I can say so - like turning something on and off) completely and everything sounds as it should.
Here's an example I just recorded: https://instaud.io/zk3
I have this PC for about 3-4 months now and it works perfectly so far. I checked temps, voltages etc. with HWiNFO, all good. If I wouldn't have plugged in a mic I'd have never even known about this, however now that I want to use one I can't because I either have to tone it way down so then I can barely record or talk to someone or the noise is too loud.
Anyone else had this ? Any ideas ? Thanks !
PS: It's not the mic. I tried it with both an old desktop mic I had around and a new headset.
