Hello everyone ! its my first post here, iv been watching oc3d tv for a long time co i decided to post my problem here
Sorry for my english its not my main language.
I have a problem with my new pc build with Maximus VII Hero. Everything works fine after building the pc but there is a microphone issue. There is a really annoying noise in the background. The bios is updated to the latest version and iv tried 3 versions of audio drivers, its making this noise on microsoft driver too even if i press the mute button on the microphone. Iv tested 3 working microphones ( tested on my previous pc ) with the same result. I haven't installed the io shield backplate but that shouldn't be the problem, even on a cardboard box it should work fine i think.
Iv recorded a sample - https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfpd43b012ynigi/mic.wav
2nd question. Is there a way to disable the motherboard red leds (Audio section and rog chipset logo) ? because i cant find it.
Full pc part list :
CPU - i7 4790k
RAM - Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB 2133MHz CL11

GPU - Evga gtx 760 SC ACX
