Hearing Gpu Through Speakers
Anyone know how to fix this? I'm running an external firewire interface to my studio monitors and recently when I run a game I can hear the GPU on my right moniter. It's pretty annoying lol

It's caused by a ground loop. Are the amplifier and computer plugged into the same surge protector ?

Have you tried plugging the computer and speaker amplifier into separate power sources (different outlets) ?

Does your power supply in your computer have a ground wire, per chance ?

It's probably because your cheap video card has cheap electrolytic capacitors. Only fix is to get a new one

Okay so it turns out to be a ground loop between the monitors and the computer. Don't really know how to fix this but a temporary fix was using the 3 prong-2 prong converters but i know its not safe and I'm still looking for a fix, if anyone has one..
