So I know this isn't a completely uncommon issue, but finding a resolution for it seems nigh impossible since the situation is never exactly the same. I've read many threads on several forums to no avail.
For some time I've been dealing with a buzzing sound coming from my JBL 305p MKII speakers whenever I try to play any remotely GPU-taxing game. I just kind of lived with it, occasionally looking for a solution and never finding one that worked for me. I could always just slap on a pair of headphones and the buzz never seemed to carry over. However I recently got a pair of MrSpeakers AFC to try on my setup, the first planars I've plugged into it, and I noticed I could hear the same buzzing I previously only noticed from my speakers, though it was a bit quieter. (the speakers were powered off, FWIW)
My setup is PC > USB > Topping D50 > RCA > Burson Fun > RCA > Speakers (or 1/4" to headphones)
I previously used a different GPU, amp, and DAC and had the same issue with those as well. Each DAC also came with it's own USB cable so I suppose I have tried different cables on those. I tried toggling Vsync in games as some on other forums suggested and it didn't help. I tried plugging the amp, DAC, and speakers into a different outlet from the PC - still no luck.
Any ideas? Am I just screwed by bad wiring in my house?
