Weird high noise on left speaker no matter what
a few days ago i started hearing a high frequent noise on the left side of my headphones. i also hear it on my speakers (i have an aux splitter so my speakers and headphones have sound at the same time)
i usually use my internal soundcard but to find the culprit i tried my mic and dac x6 for ruling out the soundcard. the high noise were present on all 3 soundcards.
then i switched out my headphones and the noise is still there.
i also tested it without the aux splitter.
i turned all audio enhancements off and it doesnt matter which format i choose the noise is there.
when i lower the sound to like 40-50% its almost gone, but i cant leave it like that since the volume is too low for the most things
im on a windows 10 system and didnt change anything in the last few days.
I have a windows 11 on another ssd and there is no noise, absolute silence. but i dont want to fully switch yet just because of that.
does anyone know what else to try?

If the issue is present in windows 10 but not your install of 11, it sounds like you found the culprit.
Are your audio drivers the same? Any other software the same between the two OS / or rather is there anything introducing processing in your windows 10 installation now present in windows 11?
its standard windows audio driver, i didnt install anything manually
no processing software or something like that
just raw windows audio
thats why i find this so weird
There are others with more experience and expertise than me. But I remember that sometimes I have had driver issues that were best solved by reinstalling the driver. Ofc I do a full system backup before I mess with such things just in case.
yeah but which driver exactly if this happens with multiple soundcards?
The one that you are presently using? All of them? I'm just throwing out a potential idea.
ok so its also on windows 11 but lower like i only hear it when im using headphones but yeah its there and only on the left side like win10
