Static buzzing noise when laptop connected to external monitor LG 5k coming from connected instruments

2019 MacBook Pro. Apollo 8p and 16 audio interfaces

When the monitor is plugged in 2 of my keyboards create static noise when the monitor is plugged in. The strange thing is, they do it even when they are off.

I've seen some posts earlier about this. Anyone else have this issue find solves? If I unplug the monitor, no static noise.

Loud buzzing noise in external audio when connecting my MBP to an external monitor using USB C When I connect my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) to the external monitor, a Dell U3818DW, using USB C there is a loud cracking noise: In the 3,5mm Headphone jack In the sound of any external USB sound card. The noise color changes depending on windows on the external screen. Sometimes it disappears for a while, but it's there most of the time. The noise is there in the speaker even when the USB sound card is turned off. It doesn't matter if the power comes through the USB C from the monitor or from the Apple power adapter. It disappears the moment I unplug the monitor. Workaround: There is no noise if I connect the monitor using a USBC - HDMI adapter.

audio buzzing/fuzzy when speakers are plugged into 3.5mm jack (aux) and external monitor plugged in to hdmi This issue has plagued me both through an M1 and M2 Macbook Pro. I have very nice speakers plugged in via the headphone jack and have always had a buzzing sound when I'm hooked up to a video monitor through an HDMI switch or just straight plugged into the laptop. I tried all the various solutions of resetting things, switching cables, changing monitor frequencies, etc... Until...I remembered back to my professional audio class days. Buzzing, clicking, scratching noises can come out of your speakers if they are plugged into the same plug or strip as your computers, monitors, or other equipment. Try a different outlet and see if that helps. It completely resolved my problem.

Static noise from external speakers when plugged external display Hello, My setup is ; MacBook Pro 2020 16 inch + Universal Audio Apollo solo(also tried Apollo x4) external sound card and JBL 305 MK II speakers+ LG 34' 34WK95U external monitor . All connected via thunderbolt 3. All of them updated to last versions. I have very loud static noice sound from JBL speakers when I plug external display. It becomes worse when I try even some cursor movements on pc. I realized I don't have it on headphones which connect to sound card. Also noice gone when I plug own power cable of MacBook which is interesting. I found some discussions which linked to grounding problems. Its happen also with other models of monitors, soundcards and speakers. Also I tried to plug to speaker powers to another socket to another room but nothing changed. So only solution for me was keeping plugged also own power cable of Mac with. By Apollo and external display I am using 3 thunderbolt plug. But when I think about buy a new M1 MacBooks it seems it would be problem for me cause it has two ports. Do you know any other solution, or if there is same problem with m1 MacBooks?
