It is highly annoying and not something I expect from a good soundcard. My friends on Teamspeak tells me it sounds like I am running a moped or a lawnmower in the bakground. The buzzing actually follows the FPS change in the GFX card. But we'll see how it pans out tomorrow, and thanks for the input ahhbility.

I might try tomorrow by setting my sound card to the first PCIE slot and having the graphics card in the slot farthest down/away, though I'm worried the graphics card might be so big it will hit the PSU and yes, I'm also using a full tower case. But it might be due to how huge my graphics card is, it's a GTX580 with DCII cooler, so it does take a lot of room. That's what I've tried doing without any positive results, and I have a pretty big motherboard, an X58 socket 1366. I wasn't about to try that and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're very confident in doing so. I've read that some people cover their capacitors in nail polish to get rid of similar problems. Like I said, not everyone has the motherboard or space to do this, so it will only work for some. The problem went away and I no longer have the annoying buzz. So, since I knew the interference was coming from my video card, I moved my video card and sound card as far apart as they could be in my case. The higher the pitch usually coincides with higher FPS.

The sound has something to do with the capacitors on the video card. Unfortunately, I don't think it will work for everyone. Well, I found a solution after tons of research. To listen to how it sounds like visit this video link: I've also tired moving the sound card to the slot farthest away from the GPU card since I've been advised by the support at my store as well as on other forums to do so as there can be interference between the soundcard and the graphics card but this boggles me since, not only is this an expensive high-end ROG sound card, but there is also a case built on the card itself to protect it from any kind of interference from other devices on the computer.
#SONAR X1 WINDOWS 10 CRACKLING NOISE DRIVERS#
Tried both the drivers on the CD as well as the latest drivers from the ASUS page. I returned my first card for a new one, but the issue was consistent. Friends have complained before when speaking over ventrilo so I decided to record how it sounded like when the mic was on during a game session, and indeed I heard this annoying noise in the background. I've experienced strange static-like or humming noise coming from my end when talking while playing games.
