I just upgraded to this motherboard in November and the hum on the audio output is driving me crazy. The much older mobo didn't have this problem and the only new components are this mobo, RAM and processor.

I just upgraded to this motherboard in November and the hum on the audio output is driving me crazy. The much older mobo didn't have this problem and the only new components are this mobo, RAM and processor.
The hum in the speakers persists and is most noticeable, even when the PC is off. It goes away only if I unplug the PC power cord or unplug the speakers from the PC. It doesn't vary with PC volume. There is no hum on the speakers when plugged into another source.
The power supply is a thermaltake (TR2 RX) 750W bronze, so it's decent, and as I said, my old Mobo didn't have this problem.
