Razer Leviathan Soundbar Buzz

My soundbar has developed a buzz using an AUX cable from my Gigabyte z390 Aorus Pro's outputs (any of the back or front headphones). I've tried different power outlets to rule out grounding conflicts, different aux cables, ground loop isolator and nothing.

Connecting via Bluetooth gets rid of the buzz but bluetooth is very touch and go on my PC.

Any thoughts?

Forgot to mention - when I touch one end of the 3.5mm audio cable (bare plug) with my finger while the other end is plugged into the soundbar, I'm able to modulate the buzz - harder I press, the louder the buzz.

Hello, did you get the aux from the Leviathan soundbar connected to the Line Out ?
Yes to line out, no to the one supplied by razer as I need 15'. But I'm using a good quality one.

Also do you have any other bluetooth or sound device or router very nearby to the PC motherboard back side? Looks like some sort of interference.

After plugging soundbar to a different PC and if there is improvement in sound output, than we can narrow down that it is an issue with the line out from your Aorus

I am no sound / electronics expert, but if the buzzing continues, than I think Aorus line out is delivering extra current.

Try plugging a different headset AUX to the line out on Aorus and see if they also deliver the buzzing, than we can definitely confirm that your Aorus line out has an issue.

If we can narrow down that Aorus line out is an issue, you can try USB to AUX out as per attached
