(I asked a similar question before but I now want to try to troubleshoot/locate the problem)
I use one of my TV's as a 3rd monitor (PC) and have the following setup:
I have an Aune X8 DAC connected to my PC via USB (and the same DAC is also connected to my WiiM AMP Pro).
On the WiiM, when I choose line in as the source (i.e. my DAC as the source) and have a HDMI plugged into the WiiM I hear buzzing.
Whenever I disconnect it it's gone. If I hook my DAC up to my PC via TOSLINK then the problem disappears (However, I don't really like this method as it then uses the onboard soundcard and seems to have a slight delay after I have nothing playing for a few minutes).
And yes technically I could hook my WiiM up to the PC directly but I'd prefer to use my dedicated DAC etc.
I have tried changing which powerlines I have these Devices hooked up to but sadly that didn't help. I tried having the DAC and amp on different lines and then also moving the TV (when I had the DAC and AMP on separate lines) to either the one where my DAC was or the amp was (I can only use two power-strip adapters sadly, a third one isn't possible)
Could the problem be because I have my WiiM's HDMI going to the TV's ARC port and then ALSO a HDMI from my GPU to another HDMI port on the TV?
Gear:
Aune X8 Dac
WiiM AMP Pro
RTX 3090
Sony XH90/XH9005
HDMI 2.1 cable + The one WiiM includes
Appreciate the help!
