    Question Why does my microphone produce white noise, even when it's unplugged?

    I have quite a bit of background noise coming from my microphone, so much that even if I was to max out the noise suppression in OBS, there's still noise coming through. The only thing that could be producing noise would be my computer. My computer does produce a fair amount of noise, but it...
