[2022] Weird buzzing noise

Are you sure this is in the sound system, and not coming from say the fans in the machine?

Has it always happened with this game? Or only since when?

Our similar game Crusader Kings 2 is free to play on Steam now. Does it happen there too?

DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .


Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)
1/ before starting the game up and
2/ after say 10 minutes' play.
If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install
SPEEDFAN http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php  

Those temperatures are okay.

You only have two sound channels (Speaker and headphones), which use the same MS driver. You hear this through both?

But if you think it is a power draw problem, you'll need hardware help with that.  

I'm certain this is a Windows or hardware problem, but not sure how to proceed really, sorry.

If you make a new Windows user, log into Windows as that - do you get the same issue?
