Heaphone Interfernce?

[MrRX7]

All of a sudden I’m getting interference through my headphones if the sound is above 60%, it never use to happen.

How can I fix it?

[MayflowerElectronics]

Don't know if this is a statement or not.

Need more info - what's your source, headphones, are you using any software ect ect,

[MrRX7]

@MayflowerElectronics I have some $10 BIG W headphones plugged into the front panel of my Corsair 350D, software is "VIA HD Audio Deck" Came with my motherboard drivers

[MayflowerElectronics]

You might be picking up interference from the front panel, try plugging the headphones directly in the back.

[MrRX7]

@MayflowerElectronics what do you mean from the front panel?

[MayflowerElectronics]

You just said you plug your headphones into the headphone jack in the front panel of the case...plug them into your motherboard.

[MrRX7]

@MayflowerElectronics ok, it worked thankyou, but my headphone cable isnt long enough.. why does it get interference from front panel?

[MayflowerElectronics]

The cable is acting like an antenna and picking up the noise given off by the components inside your computer.

You can buy a cable extension on eBay for a few bucks.

@MayflowerElectronics could this damage my computer and or headphones?

There is your extension cable.

thanks @MayflowerElectronics

@MayflowerElectronics what is it acting an antenna for? internet? as im using wifi usb dongle? my speakers do it too...

[MayflowerElectronics]

The cable that runs from your front panel to your motherboard is picking up the interference. There are many components that could give it off.

@MayflowerElectronics

1. Oh so its picking up from hardware inside case not internet wifi dongle?

2. Please tell me what it most likely is and or a list of things it could be.

 

3. Why doesn't it pick up when plugged into rear IO on motherboard?

[MayflowerElectronics]

I'll have someone else answer this, I won't be able to answer anything for a while.

4. You can't hear it until you turn up the volume enough.

1.  yes.

 

2. fans and hard drives especially

 

3. It's grounded against the computer case and the motherboard pcb, unlike the front panel cord

Its not picking up interfence of the back because there is as close to a direct conect from the sound card to the headphones as you can get. As for the interference showing up only over %60, my guess is that the noise is there at lower volumes, but isn't as loud because the gain isn't as high.

thanks @EmoRarity
