New XPS 15 9560 Coil whine - anything I can do with the software to fix it?
Hello,
I recently had my motherboard switched by Dell on my new XPS 15 9560 due to a malfunctioning headphone jack. With the new motherboard with a working headphone jack I now suffer from coil whine. It is a low, buzzing irritating sound at all times. While gaming it sometimes becomes this high-pitched noise that is very irritating.
I had no coil whine issues on the old motherboard regardless of what I did. So this is not something I am imagining.
Is there anything I could try with drivers or the like to perhaps fix the problem? Or is a new motherboard the only option?

Replacement hardware is the only option -- while you can disable the low power states to lessen the problem, that will come at the cost of reduced battery runtime.
