It's very nice indeed. Head and shoulders above the onboard audio, and it got rid of my interference problem, so it's all good. I have to turn the volume way down so it doesn't blow out my ear...

These are the clip-on chokes. They look like little barrels and aren't set up for wrapping.

Clipping the wire is not the problem. Getting at the wire I need to clip is. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to get under the front panel where the jacks are. Are you familiar with the Antec...

Nope... the ferrite chokes are on the cable but the EMI is still there and just as "loud". I really don't want to rip my case apart to get at the ground wires on the plugs... what next?

Alas, the front speaker jack on the mother board will not work for the headphones. Only the headphone jack on the front panel will work. Do you think ferrite cores on the front panel wire harness...

RFI/EMI in my earphones?

I am plagued by what sounds like EMI or RFI coming through my earphones. It varies from a sort of buzzing to a whining, or the sound of metal being ground by a very fine abrasive. It's hard to...
