I recently decided to update my computer speaker setup and decided on some Presonus Eris E5's and Temblor T8 sub. Both have gotten fantastic reviews and I got them for a very good price.
However since I got them hooked up, I have gotten crazy amounts of loud buzzing and crackling sort of noises when playing games making them unusable.
I have tried all kinds of things and have yet to solve the issue. My setup is the one in my signature. Headphones and my old Logitech Z5300 speakers work fine with no buzz or noise when gaming.
I have tried different power strips, different outlets, separating the speakers onto another power strip, put them on the same.
I have tried high end 3.5mm to TRS cable, 3.5mm to RCA cables, RCA to RCA, RCA to TRS.
I have tried a EMI shielded sound card, like the Sound Blaster Z, I have tried an external USB sound card like the Sound Blaster Omni. (Disabling the internal card and front panel)
I have disabled mic's as well.
I have tried each speaker at a time, tried just the sub. I have tried hooking spacing them far away from my computer. Issue is present with even just one speaker/sub hooked up.
I have tried different drivers, shutting off all non needed equipment in my room.
The speakers when hooked up to my phone work fine even with my PC gaming right next to it.
I tested it on my daughters rig in a different room on a different floor in the house and the issue is there as well, just not quite as loud, but still not good.
Any ideas?
