a component of my old computer is *spewing* electromagnetic interference to the point there's quite a bad effect on the sound card

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 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..
