Sound leak? Grounding?

Yeah it sure does sound like grounding issues. Put it in a different case. Try to use your headphones on a friend's pc and see what happens then. Might even be the motherboard that fried something on it. Because of you saying when using the onboard sound there's no sound at all...
 
When I read Sound Leak I have to confess I though this thread was about farting

If you have a sound grounding issue try plugging in your PC speaker
 
Lol!
it does it with pc speakers and headphones. Unfortunately none of my friends have pcs. They just have laptops. So testing on another pc is not possible:(
will having shielded cables and wires touching the back of the motherboard cause this?

Nonononono!
Not your speakers as in "black boxes that go ooomph-oooooomph next to your pc".

He means the INTERNAL PC SPEAKER RESPONSIBLE FOR GOING BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP when you switch your PC on.

Yes, that would be the one, the Internal Motherboard Speaker
Reason for me suggesting this is I had an Asus Board that also suffered from feedback over the Soundcard and I resolved it by Plugging in the PC speaker, don't know if it closed a loop somewhere but I suspect that either chassis intrusion or something else was the cause of the issue
 
Nobody is responding @mybb because its difficult to follow what you're saying.

Its the Asus board. They do this under some configurations. In your case by resetting the BIOS changed the configuration.

Open your box and check if the sound card or mobo is connected to the optical drive via a cable aside from SATA/PATA data. If it is remove it. Most modern systems don't have that, but its worth checking because its unshielded. Next go to your BIOS and disable the onboard sound card and the PATA controller (assuming your not using it). Reboot. Remove the Realtek drivers, remove the realtek app running in the background, open the device manager and remove any devices related to the onboard. Also check that the ACHI setting and the plug & play OS setting is the same as it was before the reset.

If none of that works then its likely that you've got hardware damage...which isn't all that unlikely because in my experience noise leaks like that don't just affect one channel. Would be useful to know whether you're actually getting sound from the buzzing channel btw...

Had a similar issue with an older ASUS board. Buzzing on heavily PATA activity. Ended up ditching the PATA devices.

He's got a good point there. DO IT!
 
Thanks guys.
I've tried to look for that stuff in the bios but can't find it..I dont see the onboard audio in the bios either:( i really did search and look.
My motherboard is about a year old now.
I played about half an hour of bf3 yesterday no problems... If i was 100% certain that it is the mobo i would go and buy 1 today(on credit) lol :)
