Speaker feedback from MB...

[cdcushman]

I have recently upgraded my mobo and am not getting a good bit of feedback from my computer on my speakers even when nothing else is playing. It seems to mirror the cpu usage. I.E. I can hear it "thinking" Anyone have a suggestion on how to troubleshoot?

Get the tin foil ready!

But if you think you're receiving electronic interference from your CPU in your SPU, try a cheap PCI sound card and see if you still get it. Also, if you don't have one lying around, try a set of speakers/headphones first to see if they also make the noise.

This is a very common problem with (especially) integrated audio.

Sometimes a PCI sound card will fix it, sometimes not. I can be the result of a bad electrical ground in your wall socket, crappy power overall, or just bad motherboard design.

Good luck getting rid of your problem! You may need to get a power conditioner or similar device to actually eliminate it.

It might not help, but at least you could see if others with the same hardware had that problem, if you gave your specs.
