Front panel audio interference

So, I've just finished adding a GTX 780 to my build. However, I have discovered that as soon as the GPU loads up, a buzzing starts coming from the front panel. The cable for the front panel runs right across the back of the card. It's not just affecting the headphone port, everyone I talk to over using Skype is being driven crazy by the same buzzing noise. I'm guessing it's a shielding thing, so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to help. The audio jacks at the back of the motherboard are already in use with a surround sound system, so that isn't really an option. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Edit: Specifically, I'm wondering if there is any thing that could be placed on the cable to give it some insulation, or if you can buy a new cable to run from the front panel to the header.

Well can't you reroute your cable in a way that it stays for from the GPU?

The case front panel cable is pretty much a solid plastic tube, can't really bend it. It's a straight shot from the opening of the case to the header on the mobo. It can't really go much further up in less you can replace it with a much longer one.
