Super light wine/whistle noise when I use my headphone jack.

Anyone know what could be the cause of this issue? When I use my headphone jack that's on the front of my tower I get this super high pitch noise when I use the MOBO headphone jack I get nothing but the back of my Lian Li case is pretty big so it really isn't a convient place to plug in my headphones.

Open the case, unplug the audio cable from the motherboard, and plug it back in. Make sure it is connected securely: You could be getting a bad ground. Loose wires account for a lot of system noise.

It may also be coming from the plug itself at the front of the case, in which case you would have to remove the front panel and I/O assembly. Typically those assemblies have everything hotglued, which makes it a larger DIY project, but the issue may still be correctable.

I'd try the first option and see if it helps.

Good luck,

Boz

Could also try a cheap sound card like the ASUS Xonar DG. Your mobo may not be properly grounding it or there's interference.
