static noise in speakers

[spikespiegel]

I'm using a MSI z170A gaming titanium mobo. CPU (6700k) over clocked to 4.7ghz. 64gb ram. 

 

I was using the onboard soundcard routed to a pair of KRK Rokit 8 speakers, and am finding a HUGE amount of static noise. So I decided to get a sound blaster card and thought bypassing the onboard soundcard would alleviate the problem.. It hasnt, still getting massive amount of scratchy static noise via the speakers. Using a shielded audio cable too!

 

 

Is there a solution for this or am I SOL?

Here is a link for the manual. If the trouble shooting section doesn't fix the problem contact the the seller or manufacturer.

Noisy power can do this, what power supply do you have?

I had a seasonic 1000Watt, and changed that out to a EVGA 850W Gold series.. No difference..

its not the speakers, when I cable out from my Sager laptop to the mixer/speakers, its silent and no static.. its just the desktop that does it..

maybe the motherboard or something in it, is grounding out on the case?  Maybe not enough to cause electrical problems but enough to introduce noise like this?  Anything electrical that's in the system, including the fans or lights can introduce noise.
