When any audio cable is plugged into the motherboard jack it has a really bad coil whine that comes from the motherboard,sometimes after some weeks it fades,but if my pc gets moved again it comes back.

 

Any ideas ?

 

 

P8B75-MLE - motherboard

 

Tried to plug in other speakers or headphones same thing. 

 

If nothing is plugged in it stops.

It's not coil whine it's just noise. Coil whine is a completely different thing that has to do with capacitors and weird electronic things.

 

You'll need a new DAC, so you can either pick up the absolute cheapest sound card you can get (remember a sound card doesn't effect sound quality on low end headsets) or buy a fiio E10.

Would a cheap sound card be better quality then onboard audio?

i mean really cheap old one.

I got a Xonar D1 which was £50 something. It is really nice. You can spend less and get similar sound quality I think.

Coil whine unfortunately is one of those phenomenon that is quickly being miss-understood and the term bandied about to describe any noise in a pc.

 

Coil whine is the noise you hear directly from an inductor coil when the current passing through it is high enough to cause expansion and contraction of the conductor, or when the current flowing through the coil has the same frequency as the coils resonant frequency.  This will also cause the coil to vibrate and produce noise.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.
