metallic, tinny, buzzing artifact. please help!
Hey guys, I've been getting this for some time now.
Its off and on, very random. Its this tinny, metallic buzzing artifact, almost sounds like you're playing the sound through a pair of $2 speakers. I can usually get around this by going to control panel>sound and setting the default audio to HDMI, then back to SPDIF (that's what i have my amp hooked up to). But this "cure" only lasts for a short time. This happens with all sounds coming out of the computer, not limited to music.
It's not loose connections, music source, the phone that's recording it or the speakers.
It's not clipping either, neither the source nor the amplification.
