Monitor creating static noise through speakers

ComradeBard · March 21

I have my pc connected to a scarlett 2i2, which is connected to Arena 3 speakers. And my ps5 running to the same monitor as the pc which also connects to the speakers with a 3.5mm jack. All pluged in the same socket.

No matter what combination, if i have two cables running to the speakers there is noise.

The only thing that helps is unplugging the dp cable from my pc.

Is there any way to fix this (without a switch)?

likely a grounding issue. A Grounding Loop Isolator should fix it. These are the ones I personally use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XQYN77L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for the answer. It does seem like it was a ground loop issue. Reaserched it online, and tried a couple of other things before buy the isolators. Rearranging the plug order, changing the 3.5 port on the display and disabling all dp out audio on the computer seemed to help enough that the noise is so low i only hear it right next to the speakers
