Monitors Make Noise When Scrolling on Screen?

Hey guys, quick question.
My monitors make a bit of fuzz when scrolling on say a webpage or application. It's not amp fuzz because its rather dynamic. Also, it comes from both monitors, and did on KRK RP8s too (had them before). It isn't deafening but its definitely noticeable. Has anyone had similar issues? It only makes that noise when the monitors are hooked up to the interface, which is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Monitors are Yamaha HS80's with the HS10W as well. Some searching on the googles proposed that it might be from the graphics card (some sort of interference) My card is a nVidia GTX 560 TI 448. I've tried moving my cabling around with little success. I've also tried moving interfaces usb around (to the front usb port) with no luck. Thanks for any input.

I had the same problem, the fuzz became stronger on heavier cpu\vga load as well. It is most pikely caused by a faulty power supply unit, also some specialists said, i should ground my external soundcard. I would suggest borrowing a PSU and test with it first.

I had a Xeon 5630 processor, 650w corsair psu, focusrite saffire 24 pro dsp, and a pair of rokit rp6s by the way. I didnt actually solve my problem, cause i switched to laptop instead.

Hope that helps!

Perhaps. My PSU is fairly new, probably 3 months or less. Not sure how I'd go about grounding my interface. I'll google some, but if anyone has some insight on this gimme a shout.

Been reading that a USB isolator might help with the issue. Anyone use one of these?

Are you using balanced cables between your interface and monitors?
