Static noise on headset mic

[Wazkyr]

I got a really annoying problem with static on my headsets when i record, hence static on Ventrilo and alike.
Im not talking about "outside" noise comming in, but little "clicks" you can only hear on the other end.
Heres a test: Click me
Yes my voice is awesome, you dont need to tell me.

I tried a few things but none seems to do any help.

I tested 2 different headsets (RAZOR PIRANHA & Sennheiser PC350) but both give me the exact same static, witch leads me to belive it gotta be a problem with my computer?
My comp is less than a year old, and the headsets are in mint condition, no scratches on the cords or alike.

I tried downloading the lastest drivers for my onboard soundcard but that didnt do any change.

Help me jebus

have you got them plugged in the socket at the back of your computer or for example on top of your pc case.

I tried both in the back (directly into the motherboard) and into the "hub" up front next to the CD tray and alike. Same static

Mute stereo mix in the HD Audio Manager you install with your sound drivers, should be under a tab called Record i think.

Iv got no stereo mix in my VIA HD audio program that i can mute, nothing in the controll panel either

Heres how my onboard soundcard driver program looks:

Edit: ohh found a spot called stero mix, but it is already disabled:

can be dust in the plugin hole, try to blow, also maybe dust around your mb, try to clean from dust... sounds more like a hardware problem to me, but i dont know rly

The other factors are is the wires for the headset near power cables? phones? other electrical equipment apart from ur pc?

Tbh its one reason i use USB headsets, no problems with shitty feedback.

I used to have some problems with my microphone as well. The static seemed to come from not using a proper socket for my computer. There was some residual power on the computer. It doesn't do any real harm, but it does create a static in voice recordings. In that case you need use a earthed socket, at least that is what we call in Dutch. (Not sure what the english term is for it.)

EDIT "Looked up the english term for it, found: shock proof socket"

Hope it helps,

I normally park my dirtbike outside, and most of the time i remember to turn it off...

Im gonna try to blow really hard(lol) into the mic hole. Cant open the cabinet as then i will lose my 2 year guarantee

About 10cm from the sound jacks to the power cable on the back of the comp. Thou when I plug the sound in on the front side hub its far away from any cables plugged in.
Only other thing plugged into the back is a couple of USBs and 2x DVI cables.

nope just ur ridiculous voice in crystal clear high definition

Then help me fix my voice so i dont talk in static

This sounds interested, thou not sure how to use a shock proof socket with a duel jack headset... If anybody knows more about this, please give some info

Anyway thanks all for the help, and keep it coming :worthy:

Ah, hard to explain well with all those english terms. But I am talking about the power supply for your computer as a whole, not just for the headset. You need to make sure you plug it into a shock proof socket. With an earth line.

I used to have static in my microphone as well before and now it is gone since I plug it into the right socket.

Hope this helps a bit,
