MAXIMUS VIII FORMULA Integrated Sound Card Mic Buzzing

[midiout]

I've recently switched from a USB mic to a 3.5mm TRS mic and I'm struggling with some buzzing sounds.

If I mute my mic or even unplug it from my headset (Hyper X Cloud Alpha) it will still buzz. Not only does it buzz though; I have software to filter that out, it also picks up every other sound I'm playing from my computer.

I feel like a mother board that I spent $500 on shouldn't have the same electrical interference a $60 motherboard would have, worse even. Could there be something else at play?

Are you using the rear audio ports?

Yeah, the problem exists with both the rear and front ports.

Try testing your system at stock defaults and make sure you have the latest BIOS.
