recently i bought new id4 mk2 usb audiointerface and find out it picks some high pitch noise to monitors. there was none with old usb2 one.
it's inaudible in headphones
soundcard connected to motherboard usbc 3.2(there is some audible coil buzzing from the motherboard parts close to it)
motherboard is gigabyte z790ud
pc power supply and all other staff is plugged in grounded outlet
line outs from audiointerface goes to active monitors through sub crossover
is there some easy solutions to get rid of that noise?
could detachable ferrite coils on cables be of any help? or some shielding or grounding?

This doesn't seem to be osu!-related, it might be better to ask in PC audio hardware forums >.>

well, i play osu on setup having that issue
i tried to find something related on forums, but it's mostly outdated or diy tech or something like this: https://community.element14.com/products/manufacturers/wuerth-elektronik/b/blog/posts/anp007-effective-usb-3-1-filtering-and-protection which im not educated enough to understand

can't you just use a different audio port? haven't heard of any reason to use an external sound card since the 2010s lol

guess it's possible to set up a multichannel out with few new cables, though it'll be entirely unergonomic, wouldn't have asio support and unable to power enough my headphones

in the case that you need it, wouldn't a basic external DAC/AMP be what you need?

that's what usb audiointerface is, dac+adc+amp with user-friendly usb data+power connection
