Ok before i write anything i dont want to hear Onboard sound is gay get a Audigy X-fi. Now im a running a Gigabyte GA-8I945P-G all i can find about my about On Board sound is that its Realtek HD audio using the Azalia codec, now my problem is that i get feedback from my GPU fan, CPU fan and HD its a pain in the ass ive try 2 sets of different head phones and tryed it through my stereo both with the same results, tryed various drivers im stumped to what is causing this. Any help much appreciated!
im guessing your hooking up the headphone through a front audio port if you have a thin grey cable running from your cd drives onto the onboard sound remove it. - if i have this cable connected i can hear my cd drives spinning, besides the cable is completely useless anyway also check that the front audio is wired up correctly by checkin the motherboard manual
Nah man i dont have a front audio port, well i do but its not connected. Dont think it would make any difference because ive tryed my front spker, rear spker, side spker ports with all the same results. :-(
what about the grey cable from the cd drives? like i said if you have one remove it and try again. try connecting up your front audio aswell. only the left channel of my onboard sound works unless the front audio is wired up so give it a try. it might stop the problem
nah i dont have the audio cd cable plugged in, ill plug the front ports in and give them ago i suppose it wont hurt, i could plug in my cpu fan led thingee as well. Ill give it ago when i wake up and hopefully it might work. Cheers for the confidence boost that, that might fix it
Sounds like the hardware of the motherboard or the PSU. Unfortunately all the items you mention are running off the PSU or are feed through the motherboards power feeds. I would first try another PSU if you can, it may have developed a short and be on its way out. What PSU is it?
P.S. that onboard sound card really is low performance. Paying money for a sound card is one of the last things most people do, as they think they already have one built in which works okay, so whats the point? it can't make that much difference. Firstly the sound is awful, and secondly a seperate card releases CPU performance, as the sound processing is done on the card not by the CPU. Everyboby I know who finally spends some money on a card, even £30-45 suddenly appreciates the benefits and wishes they had done it earlier, as they show just how bad the onboard sound cards really are. I am not suggesting you buy a card, as you have another problem, but recommend you think about it as soon as you can.
ok what a mission trying to plug my front audio ports in, the front audio ports had AC97 plugs so i had to look in my mobo manual, what good that was. Tried every configuration and it just wouldnt work and then i sore that gay audio cd cable in there plugged into the mobo but not into the cd drive hence picking up the feedback from everything. Cheers SypherTek :-( found out my mobo doesnt support my led fan thingee
