weird noise when moving my mouse

[areamike]

Do you by chance have any controllers hooked up to your PC? Like a console controller or joystick/gamepad?

 

[Xokrait]

No :/

 

[areamike]

OK.

Tried mouse in a different USB port?
Updated the mouse drivers?
Is your BIOS up to date?

 

[Xokrait]

Yes
My mouse doesn't have any drivers ( Zowie EC2-A )
It's only a couple of month's old. how do i check if its up to date ?

Rather than me try to explain. Here's a quick write up on how to check and update your BIOS.

EDIT: I should have said try #2 first. It's the easiest. Most motherboard manufacturers have a tool you can download that will accomplish updating/checking the bios.

is it possible to record this noise? did you mean to say chirping not beeping? how could it have disappeared? try comparing front panel audio & usb as well (so that's... headphone back mouse back, headphone back mouse front, headphone front mouse back, headphone front mouse front)

So, after you wrote "how could it have disappeared?" i tried to remember what i did before it came back and i found out what causes this. When i set my Power Plan to High Performance i immediately notice the noise when i move my mouse. if i set it to balanced its gone

 

[kn00tcn]

i dont like the idea of blindly setting high performance, you should use balanced & then alter it (to disable hard drives turning off, etc), then use bios to alter the cpu freq if for some reason you dont want it to idle, but that's wasteful

Could be "USB Selective Suspend" in the advanced plan options, all that setting has ever done for me is cause headaches. Play with that setting and see if it affects the noise.

Most probably a motherboard problem with grounding, as someone else suggested in a previous reply. I had this issue on a X58 gigabyte motherboard a long time ago when using onboard sound. Nothing to worry about, apart from the fact that its annoying

Switch to an isobar and move to another outlet. Id ground that chassis directly same with the motherboard.

If issues continue get a dedicated soundcard.

I would guess it to be "noise" as in since that mouse offers no inline choke or one where the UBS cable connects to the PCB, there is cross chatter going on between the devices.
You could try to use a mouse known to have a choke on the USB cable, buy a Ferrite ring to try. Thing is, it may bleed over to the sound card too, if the "noise" it produces is that bad now. What i would do is make contact with Zowie, explain what is going on, and see if they will send a replacement as maybe your mouse is "bad."

OP discovered the issue. A few posts above he says when he set power management to High Performance, the beeping when moving mouse starts. If he sets Power Management back to Balanced, the beeping stops. So, something in High Performance Power Mgmt. is the root cause.

Op discovered that there is a link to high power settings. I still stand by my theory that the noise is cross talk. One should be able to run any setting state and still not get noise from peripherals through the audio.

They are on the right track. A higher performance profile produces more interference, so I would start by trying to isolate and eliminate/shield-off/ferrite-choke/whatever the thing that is creating it.

Unfortunately, given the amount of things this could be, this is like a game of clue: There are no real answers and a whole lot of guessing. Trial and error, I suppose.

id say at this point turn on spread spectrum.

Would at least help if it's originating from the mobo or processor, I suppose.

i think some boards have it for the PCIE Bus too, Id put a grounding strap on one of the standoff screw holes and go straight to the case then one straight to the grounding prong in the outlet

I was hoping you meant the cans in your avatar

That's another definition for "cans", but they would look awfully strange on the sides of your head....
