Hi everyone. My first post here.
Just going to get right to the point.
I just bought new speakers (Vertrag speakers from Thonet & Vander) and after plugging them, I've been getting terrible electrical static and lag going on in almost everything I do. Whether it's playing games or watching videos or anything else.
It happens like, periodically and I think it may be due to some electrical interference, as if I have too many things connected or something of the sort.
I'm on Windows 10 and my computer is used for 3d graphics so it's not a bad computer and I also recently got a new graphics card.
I'm also getting wavy lines on one monitor (I've got two monitors and an HD TV in my setup) but this problem is older and I thought my monitor was just getting bad, besides it's a monitor I use very little.
I usually get some bad sounds from the computer shortly after I turn it on which I don't remember happening before. But it stops in a few minutes. Like it's coming from the fan or something.
Now I had three strips of....connections...what do you call them....hubs? As in where you can plug....three or more...different....yeah you know what I mean. Now I had three connected to one wall socket and pretty much everything was there. My computer, one monitor, the TV and something else in the first one, I've got a router, then the box thingy for the high speed internet (whatever you call that as well), got the third monitor, that was I think in the third one.....
I tried switching some things, put two hubs into another wall where my fridge is. Now I've got two for the computer, the first one has the computer, TV and one monitor, the second the router and Internet thingy and the other monitor.
But okay, that's enough. Now....I tried connecting the new speakers into different plugs and found I was getting the least amount of interference by plugging the speakers directly into the wall. It was by far the best but I was still getting the static periodically and lag following. As I play a game it usually happens when I do something, like interact with something, open a drawer and stuff. Shoot my gun. So in that sense it's like it's a problem with the computer but this is very sudden.
At times I've got a very long period of terrible lag that goes on for a minute or two.
I have no idea whether this is my computer acting up but I feel it has to have something to do with the speakers. But there are some strange things....
1. I plugged my old speakers, same problem really.
2. I've plugged my phone into the new speakers, no problems.
This is getting too long, I'll stop now. Any questions just ask. This doesn't make any sense to me so this post is probably really unclear.
But I really, REALLY need help with this.
Thank you
