Noise interferrence

[JB11]

I have an Asus M2M-SLI Deluxe.  I took my soundcard out and enabled the on-board audio because I would really prefer using the jacks up front for my headphones.  My only problem is I get interferring noise with it.  Went to Asus and downloaded latest drivers and it didn't help.  Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I had a cheap ATX case a few years back that had a headphone/mic jacks in front.  The connectors for this setup wasn't a pin base motherboard type plug, but rather a regular mic/line-in/heaphone jack type plug that ran through the inside of the case and would go out the PCI slot opening and plug into the back of the computer.  I tried my headphones and mic into them and both suffered from terrible noise interference.  A constant humming/buzz.  I attributed it to the case since the front panel jacks has it's own circuit board and I assumed it was bad or of really bad quality.

My new case has front audio jacks (with motherboard plugs), but I do not use them because I would have to use my onboard sound.  I can't stand the lower quality of onboard sound system.  Some people don't mind it, but I'm a self acclaimed audiophile.  My headphones have a 3m cord IIRC and easily reaches to the front of my desk.

Can't help JG11. However, if misery likes company, I did the same thing and have no sound at all on the same board. The one difference is that sound quit before hand. Thank goodness it's not on my game machine.

What kind of sound interference?  Is it a constant white noise static come out of your speakers while playing?  Is this the only game or program that has this problem?  Are you using a custom sound pack?  Does problem start after the computer has been on for a bit?  Is it Realtek onboard sound?

JG11, did you use a driver cleaner after removing the old sound card drivers? That is a must!

Put the sound card back in!

Onboard sound sucks way more CPU cycles than a good sound card.

Second, get a splitter from Radio Shack, so you can have both the headphones and speakers plugged in all the time.

You will hear different frequency buzzes as though you can hear the head accessing data on the HD.  Game sounds will drown it out if they are high enough.  No, you hear it immediately upon turning the PC on.  Mitsu's, I believe.  No, right when you fire it up.  I don't believe so.
