My sound card transmits squealing, like the shit you hear from your GPU, into my headphones.
I've narrowed it down to it needing a molex connector from my PSU. I swapped the card to one that doesn't have a power connector, and it's noise free.
So naturally I thought it's the PSU, but I swapped that now, and the card still gives that fucking noise. At this point what the shit can I do? I literally don't know why it's happening, other than bad PSU cables (they're individually braided), or two noisy PSUs which I consider unlikely.
For the moment I'm running my headphones on my onboard Intel HD audio (2011 socket), which has no problems, but I feel like I'm missing out on quality. I keep my stereo speakers plugged into the dedicated card because they're fine / clear it out somehow.

if you have to buy into the dedicated card for quality sound meme get an external one.

most on board sound is good quality now, some are even isolated on the board.

But that introduces horrible latency.

I think I'm going to cut my losses and stick with the dual audio setup. For true quality I use my home theatre setup anyway. Fuck it for gaming.

Don't use front panel audio, plug your shit into the back.

Who the hell still uses internal sound cards? For fucks sake.

Get a cheap ground loop isolator for 10 bux and if it fixes it then you know what the problem is.
In the meantime try unplugging any AC adaptors (power bricks) connected to the same power circuit as the PC.
