In the last month a built a new rig and it worked just fine except the audio.

After some trials I realized that when my computer downloaded or uploaded files to the internet the audio starts flickering; however it doesn't interfere with any audio played 

by the computer, it just flickers on top of it.

 

In my setup I have a KVM switch that allows me to select two different inputs of audio and video and outputs one. So when I plug my laptop in I can select that and if I want to do gaming I select the pc.

I tried to plug my speakers directly into the back of my case but that didn't work either. However when I try to plug headphones on the machine's front audio jack the flickering magically disappears.

If I plug my headphones in the speakers it flickers even stronger in my ears. 

 

Knowing that the front jack works but the rear doesn't and I can't plug the speakers in the front because they are too far what can I do??

Here's my setup (probably it's the motherboard or the wireless adaptor, I still didn't try using an Ethernet cable)

Try switching/updating web browsers eg. firefox/chrome nightly

If what you're referring to by uploading and downloading is torrents then try rolling back your bittorrent client or switching to a new one.

Are all your drivers fully up to date? If so try rolling them back to previous drivers (only sound drivers)
