Speakers low hum

Hey guys. I'v notices that when i play more intensive games I hear a low hum from my speakers. Now I'v tried switching the port to my front connection and it usually goes away, so I'm guessing it's some kind of interference. Is that something i should worry about or is it just the quality of audio shielding on my Mo-Bo?

 

Thanks in advance 😄

Likely EMI when everything gets turned up to 11. You could potentially get away with a hum eliminator (ELIMINATE). Otherwise an external DAC/AMP would help get rid of that noise/interference.

Yeah, sounds like EMI. If you're saying switching to your front panel ports makes it go away, then in theory an external DAC solution will mitigate it completely.
