is it my gpu?

[lukky211111]

So I've just recently finished a build with an i7 4790k at stock speeds an evga gtx 980 acx 2.0 sc g skill area 16 gbs of ram an msi gaming 7 motherboard a noctua nh d 15 an evga g2 750 watt psu and my case is the fractal define r 5 and I've been having issues with a buzzing noise coming through my speakers on my aaua pb238q which is hooked up via display port and I've never had this issue before I also have my screens go black and then i havr to resetbmy computer to get them to work cu they kust keepbsaying no display signal this was during a game twice now once in dishonored and once in borderlands 2 what is going on?

Why are you not using on board sound?

[lukky211111]

Why are you not using on board sound?

Should I be? Does that have anything to do with my issue?

[Bangflop]

Do you have the most up to date video drivers?

[Lord_Karango17]

Why are you not using on board sound?

monitor speakers usually use audio over the hdmi/ dp cable

[lukky211111]

Do you have the most up to date video drivers?

Yes still had issues even reset back to an older set of video and physx drivers that were released for gta v still had that buzzing noise

[lukky211111]

monitor speakers usually use audio over the hdmi/ dp cable

And yeah I have a cable I can use to make my onboard audio be used so that could actually help test the issue of where the sound is coming from

Oh they are moniter speakers, they are probably just shit and bad quality.

Try using that cable your onboard sound will be better quality then anything coming from the GPU.

Eh they do the job but that doesn't explain having both my monitors black out and say no display signal till I reset my pc

[Lord_Karango17]

well, that is the bigger problem, and could very well be you gpu. have you tried with other cables like hdmi?

Sounds like driver issues

[PrimeTek]

try to mute all game and windows sound and go in a game that you hear the buzzing in , look arround , lets say in DayZ standalone you look at the city , 30fps and no buzzing , look at the ocean , 90fps and buzzing. If its has close relation to this it might be the speakers picking up GPU coil whine

 

Maybe it will work or maybe im mad and this has nothing to do with it. yolo

Right now I have my TV hooked with an HDMI and havnt had an issue with the buzzing yet

[lukky211111]

.

I've tried two different drivers still same issue with the buzzing

I havnt had the buzzing during a game yet and I cap everything at 60fps since I have a 60hz monitor

I was talking about your PC needing to be completely restarted.

[lukky211111]

Hmmm....it's possible....the buzzing still persists even with older drivers but I havnt had the screens going black issue yet....hmmm....I may need to do more testing

have you tried another DP cable?

[lukky211111]

have you tried another DP cable?

I havnt though my other monitor uses a dvi cable but that of course doesn't transport audio

Nvidia has Fucked up a ton of there drivers lately I don't know what is the most recent one that's not Fucked up but some of the other guys should know.

I've been running 350.12 as of a few days ago cuz I heard that one is okay but still had that buzzing issue

If they're monitor speakers, I can guarantee it's a ground loop issue.

 

Voltage isn't a "literal" value; it's always relative to some reference point. 5V really means "an electrical potential difference of five volts between two points". We then refer to "negative", or ground as our 0V reference from which we measured that 5V value. So, when your PSU outputs 5V or 12V, it is really outputting a 5V or 12V difference from a 0V ground pin (the black cables on a molex).

 

The problem is that your 0V reference in one system might not be the same as a 0V reference in another system. In fact, if you measure the potential difference (voltage) between those two ground pins, you might find that there's a small difference (usually a few hundred millivolts).

 

So, when you have your PC's PSU producing a 0V reference and a range of other voltages to drive your board, CPU, sound card, etc, but then have your screen's speaker amplifier circuitry driven from a different power supply with a different 0V reference, and then connect them together, you get a voltage differential between the two 0V (ground) sources.

 

I know this might sound confusing, so here's a visual representation:

 

 

Now, since the ground potential is shared across the mains, the ground loop difference usually oscillates at the same frequency as the mains. This means you get a 50Hz / 60Hz hum or buzz when your audio cable is plugged in. It's actually really easy to fix in the circuitry, but manufacturers skimp out on the components because "it's not their problem".

 

What you need to buy is a ground loop isolator. They're basically just a 1:1 winding transformer that electrically isolates the two systems, allowing the signal (AC component) to pass through but the noise (DC component) to be dissipated as heat, alongside a simple high-pass filter.

hahaha , i enjoyed stable 2014 drivers for my 780ti for almost a year never failed me

Hmmm though my issue isn't continuous it happens here n there and when I switch the onboard input on my monitor and switch it from display port to something else then back it fixes it
