Desktop EM interference in soundcard?
Desktop EM interference in soundcard? Posted on: 10.07.2013 by Dannie Dimora Hello guys Sho, my main rig is currently broken since i fried the processor in a OCing session with DICE and a bit of ln2 that was a little on the extreme side of things :P So while i wait for my wallet to get full again and permit me to buy a new lga2011cpu, i have repurposed my old gaming rig (c2d [email protected] , 8gb) as a production one. Put my delta44in, reinstalled cubase and my most used plugins on an empty disk i had laying around, booted perfect, but now i have a problem. The interference coming from the speakers when the computer is plugged in and turned on is amazingly loud and annoying. I tried uninstalling the delta drivers and had a try with asio4all thru the realtek SC on the mobo, but even this gave the same results (front headphone jack is A LITTLE less loud, but still damn annoying). Tried removing the graphics card because that could have been the issue (using the integrated gfx on the chipset) but no, both soundcards still produce audible interference. The psu is a brand new 750w generic one ( worked perfect when the cpu on there was still a p4, so that must not be the issue here), i have dual dvd drives installed and 3 HDs (no raid) I have installed custom cooling and LED lighting inside the case, but the problem occurs even when that is turned off. Can anyone help me here? Audio works normally thru both the delta and asio4all+realtek, i mean, latency is good, no dropouts, so it's def. not a driver issue. Anyone? Thanks -p | |

| Doreen Schurle 10.07.2013 | To be honest, it's REALLY unlikely to be the PSU, because every motherboard has a significant amount of power smoothing on-board. Power to pretty much everything (apart from molex/sata-connected devices) goes through those smoothing capacitors, inductors and voltage regulators. However, if the system is overclocked (by raising the BCLK) then the PCI bus will be running higher than its intended frequency, which can cause buzzing/humming/clicking. Revert to stock settings and see if that helps; if not, it's possible that something has actually been fried during an overclocking attempt. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 11.07.2013 | If you're getting interference with and without the Delta 44, it's something hardware related -> PSU. You can try another electrical socket for maybe grounding issues, but I doubt that is the cause. |

| Gaynell Rydberg 11.07.2013 | Did you use the PSU for music production before though? Sure you don't have a cell phone lying around? |

| Alphonso Deitchman 11.07.2013 | If the PSU is brand new, what do you mean by it "worked perfect when the cpu on there was still a p4"? Generic is never a good idea for computer PSUs. |
