OH MY FUCKING GOD
For the past 3 years, since I built my computer, it's been making a hissing/buzzing noise out of either the headphones or speakers, whichever were plugged in. I noticed this and asked my dad why this was happening (he's a videographer/musician/amatuer sound engineer) and he just told me "speakers just do that sometimes" I thought it was because my soundcard or my motherboard was causing it or something, I didn't think it was fixable.
Well today I finally fixed it. I have a dual monitor setup, where I can switch my 2nd screen to HDMI for playing on my Wii-U, and the audio goes through my computer and out of my computer speakers. Well it turns out that having the audio jack connected through the 2nd monitor to the computer's line-in input (I think that's what it was) all the time is a horrible thing to do, as this was what was causing the non-stop hiss.
If I want to play on my Wii-U I just need to plug the jack into the back of the computer. I still get hissing this way, but it's way nicer to only have it on the Wii-U anyways, and if I really want to avoid it I can just plug my headphones into the gamepad.
I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY, EVERYTHING ON MY COMPUTER SOUNDS GLORIOUS NOW.
Has anyone here felt pure elation when fixing something like this?
