Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I'll do some further testing but don't worry StoleMyOwnCar, I have no regrets about buying these speakers, they sound fantastic!
I still think it's a windows or motherboard issue, so far I haven't had the problem other than the windows sounds, games sound great and music even better.
Thanks for the reply Decibel, I've made those changes to the settings.
The issue I'm having seems to only happen with Windows system sounds I think, maybe it has to do with whatever file type they are? I just disabled System sounds in the tab, I don't think I really need them anyway, I don't...
At first I didn't realise but I think you are right about a noise when the amp first turns on but that's not the main issue I'm having (since changing to optical I don't think that noise happens anymore? It use to happen on windows startup all the time but since swapping to optical I don't think...
Not sure if this sound file will work properly but the first 10 seconds is making the ding from the left blue marker and the last 10 seconds is from the right. The buzz sounds a lot louder in this sound file than in person and it sounds a little different but it might help explain it.
Update. When I click the left volume blue marker, it makes the windows ding sound without the pop or crackle, 100% perfect. But when I click the right marker to make the ding it has the pop/crackle noise every time.
The FiiO arrived and is working great, completely eliminated the buzzing sound! Speakers sound fantastic.
The only thing I'm having an issue with is a soft pop/crackle type sound before sound starts. For example if there is no sound for a bit, when starting a song or noise, there is a quick...
Thanks so much for the help. I'm going to be using this (Amazon.com: FiiO D3 (D03K) Digital to Analog Audio Converter - 192kHz/24bit Optical and Coaxial DAC: Electronics) with them but I'm just waiting on shipment. I had to buy that because I'm getting a lot of interference noise from the PC...
I bought these speakers for my PC and just wondering about some specific settings on the back of the speakers that are very confusing for me.
I mostly play games and the speakers are about 1.2 meters away from me and have about a 40 centimetres gap between them (my desk is pretty limited and I...
I decided to buy the FiiO, cheapest I could get it was the link from Amazon above, worked out to AU$45 with the optical cable included. Cheapest here was AU$50 without the optical cable. Gotta wait a couple of weeks so I'll report back when it arrives!
Thanks for all the replies, you have all...
That cheap noise filter is from a shop close to me so I might go down and get one in the morning and see what it does. If it alters the amount of buzz but doesn't fix it does that narrow down the problem any more or it doesn't change anything? Either way my next buy will be that DAC.
Thanks for all the help so far. I think I might get one of those FiiO's and see how it goes.
What kind of cable would it be, I'm struggling to find one, I'm not even sure what a balanced cable is, is the one I linked in the original post not balanced?. Is there a balanced cable that has a...
Thanks for the help. So do you think there is something wrong with a component of the PC? Do you think it's something to worry about, or if the FiiO fixes it I'll just leave it be?
Another thing I noticed, if I'm browsing the web and I mouse over something that changes the whole layout, like a...

When I play a test sound through 'Realtek Digital Output' I don't hear anything but the sound bar moves as if sound is playing. If I set that as the default sound device then I don't hear any sound. But, when I load up a game the buzz is there and everything else...
Another thing to note, muting windows sound altogether doesn't effect the buzz. When tabbing back to the game the sound starts up again.
It also seems to start when there is a load on the system. I'm playing Fallout 4, when you first load the game through the opening video then the start screen...
