Do you have Nvidia audio whatever installed? Try uninstalling or disabling it and see if that fixes it? Otherwise you probably have to RMA.
Was about to uninstall the audio for nvidia when i rebooted the pc. However the PC turned off completely and wouldnt start again (fans spinning for 2 seconds then nothing) removing the battery on the motherboard and inserting it back in then turning it back on seemed to fix it, i placed my old card back in and im currently updating drivers ect to see if the noise continues after this. But im quite worried about the computer turning off and not starting up again. Weird shit is going on here.

Edit: just tested it with my old card, noise is still there. Any clues? i have no idea what the problem could be at this point.
Edit 2: ops double post, sorry!

If your Windows volume mixer is currently set very low (20% or something), and you have a method to reduce volume externally, turn up the volume in the Windows mixer. If you have Windows volume on 100% and make it quiet with external volume control, the noise will disappear.
That noise is probably (EM?) interference from the graphics card working being radiated into the onboard audio.
Did you change something else about your audio stuff when you got the new graphics card? I mean for example things like, maybe you didn't play with these headphones until now. On speakers, you usually have volume control. If you turn that volume control down and the volume in the Windows mixer up, you will dampen any noise from the audio hardware. The kind of headphones that need strong amp or they'll sound quiet also dampen noise.
If you have volume control on the headphone cable, try to do the same, turn volume in the Windows mixer up to 50 % or more, then use the volume control on the cable to not get your ears to explode.

Fixed the problem.. i'm an idiot who didn't use the PCI-E x16 slot for my GPU. I feel so dumb right now.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You figured it out on your own, which is more than I can say for most users :p

Anyone knows which browser is capable of having tab groups like Firefox? I love this feature but Firefox is slow and unresponsive at times. Thanks in advance.

I'm considering purchasing a NAS for the backup of photos and possible streaming to a mediaplayer.
So far i've narrowed it down to 2 brands: Synology and QNAP. And considering purchasing one of the following:
-Synology DS-112 € 177
-Synology DS-213j € 179
-QNAP TS-212 € 169
Does anyone have any experience with the above NAS? And any advice on what to look for and what kind of HDD to get (wdd green or blue)?
Thanks!

You want Red drives for NAS.

Opera 12.10 has tab stacks. It is, for a variety of reasons, my favorite browser.
I think Opera's newest edition is significantly different, however.

What do you mean by significantly different?

Have you already turned on microphone boost?

I think that means to use the computer as a PA system via the speakers. Wouldn't that just require some software to pipe the input audio stream to the speakers? Or rather, that shows up in audio devices or somewhere in drivers for some systems. With typical consumer audio interfaces, you'd probably have some non-trivial latency incurred.
This shouldn't actually be anything you need the speaker for. Microphone -> mic pre-amp -> speaker amplifier (or powered speaker input, which is the same stage) -> speakers. Just need to get the levels right. Through the computer or some other hardware would be better for compression and other processing, but it really depends on what kind of use case as to what is acceptable in quality.

Windows can do that itself, although I'm not sure how good it is. In the sound properties of the microphone you should see a checkbox that says "listen to this device." Enabling that will push your microphone to your speakers.

Does any know of a well working program that would allow me to download VODs off of Blip.TV thanks : )

The Firefox addon "DownloadHelper" can do it.

Looking for a dirt cheap laptop (but not so cheap that it will make me cry when I use it coming from my desktop) ~350 before tax and in CAD. My school introduced this weird program this year, and it requires me to have a lat, but I wasn't planning on buying one until university. I just need something that I can get bye with, but i needs to be able to run Java/Flash based web apps smoothly. It will probably be turned into a media streamer after, so yeah.
If anyone could shed some light on this, that would be awesome. Kind of in a rush to get it, but I can try and hold out for as long as possible. (Btw Ontario, Canada)
Edit: Actually, I suppose a better question would be: is it even worth it to try and do what I'm doing?
