Headphone buzzing while playing games

[SeaMoose]

Hello Linus tech tips community. I have been having a problem. I built my computer about a year ago and everyone is going fine expect for one thing, when ever I play a game I hear a buzzing noise in my headphones. I have tried testing with many pairs and I have always heard it. I play games like bf4 and tf2 and I heard the noise in both these games. The headphones that I am currently using are audio technia ath m50x. The tone of the buzzing changes with what screen im on. For example the tone of the buzzing is different when im in the menu and when im actually playing. My cording is kinda mess so it might be a hardware thing of software. Any help of recomindations would be super helpful. thanks

Where are you plugging the headphones into?

most likely interference from power as you said different frequencies generally as your gpu pulls more power more emi is given off, try moving the power cables in your case while you hear the sound.

Are you plugging them directly into your motherboard's audio port, or via a sound card?

Thanks for the speed response. I'm plugging them into my mobo's audio port.

What do you think would solve this problem in the long run?

If you're plugging them into the back of your mobo and still getting buzzing, the next step is to get an external DAC.

 

Look into Syba DAC or the FiiO E6, both are good options for not a lot of money.

Thanks. I was thinking about doing this. Finally I have a good reason. Thanks everyone for the help.
