Buzzing sound only when playing games?

[Metrize]

It seems like any demanding game (Control and Tarkov) I have this annoying buzzing noise coming from my headphones, any way to remove this? I'm not sure whats causing it, I changed pc from extension cord to directly outlet and still makes same noise

Occasionally Its the port. Whenever you hear it, unplug and replug the headphones, or turn down the gain slightly. Usually fixes it for me. In really bad situations it could be just a bad setup for the motherboard or USB slot, or Maybe you are placing it near something causing the buzzing sound.

Try plugging in the rear port instead of the front one. If that helps you should get a longer cable to use with your headphones. I also use an extended cable for this reason.

I am using the rear ports, I'm not sure why it's making static sound. I have a 3070 and it feels like the harder the GPU is working, the more static there is. When I'm not playing games or anything there is no static sound at all. It's really frustrating and immersion breaking in games

I've had similar issues in the past. I ended up buying a DAC, that connects to the PC via USB. Never, ever had any issues again. Maybe consider that.

The issue you're having is EMI. Your onboard sound chip likely isn't shielded. It's usually less of a problem on higher-end mobos as the sound chip often is under some heatsink or some other cover. Higher power GPUs create more interference and it is dependant on load. Buy an external USB DAC and you will never have this problem again. The only other way to fix it without spending money is to power limit your GPU, but that's not really a good solution for obvious reasons.

Thanks for all the responses, I tried reseating the GPU and the issue seems to have been resolved. It's strange but I'll take it

Update: it comes back not sure why, my pc was a little dusty though so i cleaned that and maybe it helps. I'll keep everyone updated. Full specs: Gigabyte B550M DS3H motherboard, Ryzen 3600X, RTX 3070. I also unplugged front audio which was near the audio capacitators incase that might be causing it. First boot seems good but last time reseating fixed it so not sure if its just temporary. I also reseated RAM and GPU, clearing any dust near the slots and the main power to motherboard too

 

About a month ago when I was playing fortnite it would keep building up in static until the audio just fully cut out. Then once game was closed it would fade back into lots of static reducing over time until it came back. I fixed it with turning off multi threading and low graphics, it was still static but audio didn't cut out. I haven't tried this boot yet

Spread spectrum is enabled in motherboard, resize bar enabled, bios version 15c

 

will keep you all updated

Before you buy anything I faced this issue and all I did was turned on V-sync (vertical Sync) and it fixed itself. Or play around with your video settings,

V-Sync fixed my buzzing noise! Thank you so much, it's been doing this for over a year now bugging the hell out of me. 

I went and spent $300 on a new PSU for nothing. So try this fix first!
