My mouse movements are being picked up by my speakers
but only when left click is held during a drag
oh NO its not the mouse I'm hearing, its the dynamic clocking on the CPU VIA the speakers

@electrocutie oh no, how is that getting all the way to your line out? D:
@electrocutie Oh, yeah, that'd do it. Heck
@elfi yep yep. Its a hard won lesson, don't take your ground for granted any more than you take your power rail for granted. The only thing that matters is the difference between them and EITHER can cause you pain
@electrocutie I wonder if you could bodge wire a way around that, like the good old days.
@elfi My first guess is ground plane contamination
if they didn't star-ground their audio stuff then the surges from the CPU would have a really nice way to interfere
glancing at my board's layout the CPU and its power supplies are directly between the accessory chips (including audio) and the motherboard power supply
So yeah, ground contamination is where I'd put my money
