a component of my old computer is *spewing* electromagnetic interference to the point there's quite a bad effect on the sound card
hell i'm considering recapping the entire motherboard since it was released right around when capacitor plague became a thing
it's just luckily been in mostly working order
https://puu.sh/BliaY/c83b140fd5.wav this is what I mean btw (it's rather quiet, but still very audible in recordings from my old comp)
i'm hopeful it's actually just the sound card
@azushark Oof, definitely sounds like CPU interference. Have you tried turning on Spread Spectrum in the BIOS?
@Saxxon i don't think that's an option in it?
@Saxxon yeah it's not available
@Saxxon also the interference is present even when the computer is switched off
it only goes away once it's unplugged
@azushark Oh wow, that's wild! Yeah, wonder if you're right then, recapping the board might be the way to go.
I can send you a couple cards to play with if you'd like. It'd save on shipping for sure.
My Iwill KK266+ had bad caps when it arrived to me, *sealed*. The capacitor plague is unforgiving..
i suppose I'll have to recap things eventually
20+ year old components are bound to get fucky after a while
