Dash it all, now I hear the little pops and whirs my computer makes when using the headphone out. My wallet is starting to cry, on the inside.

I have a dgx coming from amazon, we'll see if that helps. I am using the front headphone port for ease of use, but that's going to change from now on. I'll look to see what is or isn't muted and mute everything unnecessary. I do hope to upgrade to an external dac, but that may have to wait a few months.
Can you try the rear port instead? I have horrible EFI noise coming through my front port due to the poor quality wires running to them (all cases seem to have really cheap standard wiring with no shielding at all).
No, you had noise because audio ground was connected to the case in your front panel.
Cables don't pick up enough noise to affect headphones. And PCB traces going to rear ports aren't shielded either.
Where ever to connect the audio ground ? AFAIK, the mobo ground is always connected to the case, too.
