Static sound when i move mouse

[J.Munslow]

Title says it all really.. i'm currently using an asus z170 pro gaming board with the supreme fx realtek audio chip. whenever i move my mouse, the audio becomes a mess of static. i don't think it would be emi though as this board boasts features to prevent it...  would you also know how to avoid using these drivers in favour of normal microsoft ones?

It's interference from the onboard audio.

It doesn't matter how many buzzwords Asus stamps onto their product, onboard audio is prone to interference due to proximity with other components.

 

I have an expensive Asus board as well when using the onboard audio I get static when scrolling the mouse wheel.

ahhhhh.... so annoying... looks like it'll be an external sound card for me then..

Yeah, that's all you can do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is it possible that some USB ports are 'wired' further away from the onboard audio?

Maybe switching to a different USB port will fix it. Just a shot in the dark.

I thought i had an issue with my logitech mouse .. and found the culprit was the braided cable was rubbing on a rough edge of my desk causing the noise almost like a static sound .. wasnt thru the speakers tho
