I have an x-fi gamer (have had it for a while) on an MSI p43 motherboard. Although I know creative gets blasted here, I am generally happy with my sound through my 2.1 speakers (logitech z-2300) or through headphones connected to the z-2300 headphone port. However, when I game, I prefer to use my headset so I have to plug into my front panel audio connector to access the speaker plug. When I do that, I get some low static or intermittent electrical interference of some sort as a background noise. I assume I am picking up electrical interference from the motherboard/PSU but haven't figured out how to solve it.
Anyone know any quick fixes for this?
As you can tell from the above, I am not an audiophile but do like clear sound. I understand that the x-fi gamer front port connections share power with the rear panel connections. Is this card just crippled for front panel applications?
