Hi Guys,

So, I got the new computer yesterday (Well secondhand from cousin) but one of the few things I noticed, I tried plugging my headphones into the frontpanel in bit, but the first thing I got was a buzzing/crackling noise - Happens whether or not the mute is on the computer. Is it possible that this is interference from cables/connections or is a known problem with coolermaster?

The case I have is (Or is very similar) to http://www.ebuyer.com/151368-coolermast ... c335kkn1gp

Any tips would be appericated.

Cheers! :)

Try the rear port to see if it fixes the issue. If it does, then yes you are right, you can try re-seating the FPheader/HDaudio wire on the board or clean out the headphone port, but normally these things are just a "deal with it" issue :/ If the rear port works fine, buy a 3.5mm cable extension.

Ah, slightly annoying... That's what I had to do in the end last night, back port works fine. Is it hard to "re-seat" the FPheader/HDaudio wire? is it something you've attempted in the past?

Looks like this:

Just pull it out and put it in. Then follow the cable and make sure its not torn/pinched/ripped/exposed anywhere, and make sure the wires don't run alongside any power wire (power = interference). So if you see this HDaudio wire zip-tied to a wire that comes out of the PSU, separate them.

btw, it's normally the only cable running from the front panel that has two connectors on the same cable. It should be easy to spot.

Cheers, mate! ;)

Decided against this now after I bought a new keyboard...

Got the Razer lycosa keyboard and it has a mic in, sound in and usb port on it so I can plug my stuff in there, much much easier now. Lovely keyboard, along with the razer lachesis 5600DPI

I find it quite nice actually, I wasn't sure on it at first, felt a bit strange considering I previously had the basic dell mouse, but after a few hours of using it for casual use and gaming use, it's a nice comfort fit. Just still getting used to the speed changes.
