Going seriously POTTY with persistent audio 'tizz-ling' on new build!!

[tonewheelkev]

New build is an i3-2120 on an Asus P8Z68-v LX!

Always present is an infuriating buzzing/sizzling that eminates from on-board sound card.

PLEASE...can someone suggest a way forward here...I'm going crazy!!!!

Are there any do's and don'ts as far as cable layout/management is concerned?

Oh...and I've already disconnected the audio header to the front panel, as this is not required...

Thx

...Could I be the only one out there with this problem??....

Should add that I've read similar posts, and have to say that this isn't a 'popping' or'crackling' sound
......more like the sound from a hive of angry Bees...

Eminates through your speakers? Or your headphones? Or both?

Not present if you try a separate audio card?

Have you downloaded and reinstalled correct drivers, possibly multiple times with multiple methods?

Did you get audio drivers from a disc, from Asus, or from the audio chip manufacturer?

All that said, it could just be defective.

Offhand, I wouldn't expect cable management to be related.

Tried an old (but perfectly fine) Audigy 2 card...exactly same prob!

Have you downloaded and reinstalled correct drivers, .....

Yes....spent all day on this as it happens....feel totally sick now

Went to Asus for the drivers....assumed that was the best route.....

.....HEADPHONES.....and set rather high in volume

.....NO PROBLEMS....great sound!!!!....

What 's going on....I'm using a high quality Pre/Power amp and Mission bookshelf speakers.....worked perfectly with the system I've just replaced..

Any thoughts welcome!!!?
