Weird Audio Issues...

Hi all,

 

A quick query, I have lost the right channel audio on my PC. I currently use a DAC with headphones running off that and thought the DAC was faulty, however when I tried a different set of headphones in the PC io, I still have the same issue. Specifically, when the PC boots, I have normal audio both through the PC io and DAC, but after 5 or so minutes, I loose the right channel from both. If I reconnect the headphones to the DAC, I get both channels for around 5 seconds, but loose the channel again. I have tried reinstalling drivers to no avail, as well as running the DAC from USB, to optical from pc but no change there, so is it more likely a hardware issue? My PC is getting on tbf, I'll list the specs below. Cheers.

 

CPU - FX-6300

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P

GPU - R9 270X

PSU - be quiet! 630W

RAM - 12GB DDR3

Storage - 1x 250GB SSD (os), 1x 500GB SSD, 1x 1TB HDD

My guess would be aging capacitors on your motherbord, which when heating up stop working properly. 

 

So in short, your motherboard is slowly dying. 

 

Sorry

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.
