x58a-ud3r static/popping noises on speakers

[The Joker]

Hi,

whenever i am watching movies, youtube etc, i am hearing a crackling, static noise on my speakers randomly occuring.

I also hear some slight crackling when i connect headphone to the case headphone.

i got the ga drivers installed from the website.

The most likely reason is that your wires need rerouting, they are possibly picking up some stray frequencies.

So u don't get any crackling sound or sudden popping static sound on your speakers or headphones/case? with your board?

Btw which board u got?

i got rev 2.

Is your mouse a USB mouse? If YES, try connecting it to other USB port... it looks like the ground plane of this GA-X58A-UD3R is not good and causes many problem...

yeah wireless

yeah wireless

still get the static noise..

Tested with my own headphones and also got the noise

Only other thing that springs to mind is the earth on your machine. Check to make sure it is making a good connection as it seems that you are picking up erroneous static from somewhere that should be grounded.

I take it your case is metal and not perspex or acrylic?

On newegg some ppl say the thing has black interior painted. Would that cause ground issue?

The "black interior painted" should not be an issue since the motherboard and the PSU are tightened to the case with metallic screws I assume. I'm not sure if the following will help. If you've ferrite core (e.g. something shown in the figure below), you may clamp the speaker wire with the ferrite core. If you note the monitor cable, it always has a "bump" (which is a ferrite core). However, if we can "hear" the noise from the speaker, then the frequency of noise should be somewhere between 20Hz ~ 20kHz I guess.
