Loud buzzing coming from headset

[Taoroz]

Hello, I recently built my first 'gaming' pc and have been experiencing some issues with it. When I plug in my headset to the computer it plays a buzzing noise through the headset and same thing with my microphone jack and have to plug it into my monitor to get clear audio, please help

Do you have an audio jack at the front and back of the machine? Is both the same?
Have you got a sound card? They normally eliminate this issue

Make sure to push the audio jack all the way in

Hope this helps

 

[Taoroz]

thanks for the reply, I do not have a sound card

 

[Kavster001]

Do you get same results from front audio and back?

 

[Taoroz]

yes they both make a buzzing/static noise

I have seen this

'If the laptop is plugged in for AC power, the buzz could be due to a ground-loop between the laptop, the amplifier and power wiring. If this is the case, unplugging the laptop's power cable will stop the buzz. The (other) fix in this case would be to connect the laptop's power brick to the same power bar as the amplifier to minimize difference in ground voltages between pieces of equipment. Another possibility would be to install a direct ground wire between the amplifier and laptop if the laptop has a grounded metal surface with a screw you could connect a cable to.'

You need to apply all relevant information to your PC as this fix was for the desktop but should all be relevant

Further looking into this it looks like ti could be the motherboard not grounded properly and is making a connection somewhere

It happens because of poor quality of inbuilt sound. Due to electrical interference inside the computer you hear the buzzing. Get an internal or external sound card. I recommend the external one since it will be outside your PC and won't have electrical interference from the PC.

 

[Taoroz]

so would a soundcard eliminate all of the noise ?

 

[Taoroz]

Could it be touching a part of the case ?

 

[darthvader30]

You can verify by buying an external sound card, some of them are extremely cheap. I don't think that it would be a part touching the case since it would cause current flow in the case or short.

I think it is the motherboard touching the case, common issue. Although getting a sound card should fix the issue I would reseat the motherboard first
