Hi thx for the hasty reply Dave.

Its an amp plugin using SansAmp. I was just trying to show how much more intense whatever this interference sound is when you add a drive effect to the guitar track.

Yes it is something in my PC but how to fix it? Perhaps the motherboard? Or could it be the cables connecting the components? Or the processor?

Its a desktop pc. I've just tried using an extension lead to plug the PC into a wall socket plug in the hallway which is about 5 meters away from the tower which has made no difference. I'm still getting the same noise.

The setup. The PC was also build as a workstation computer for working in 3D Architectural Design, complex 3D model making, rendering and creating animations in Revit and Sketchup.

Windows 10 Pro
Processor - Intel(R) Core9TM) i9-10850k CPU @3.60GHz 3.60Ghz
Ram 64.0GB 32GB DDR4- 3200 288-PIN DIMMx2
Motherboard - MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS (MS- 7C75) 2.0
Power Unit - 750W XPG Core Reactor Gold
GPU - Geforce RTX 2080 Super Windforce OC 8G
Sound Card - ZOOM UAC USB 3 Audio Converter

The soundcard is plugged into one of the USB ports on the Motherboard.
Not much else to it really.

I can still record audio and get a decent recording. You can't really notice the interference sound when the recorded audio is being played at a good level. Its only when you stop creating a signal / cease what you are recording into the audio track and when things quieten down the interference sound is to lingering in the background. Its way way more intense with tracks with drive or distortion effects active on them.
