Question Microphone on computer makes a loud constant hum in the microphone when I try to talk

[firecrysis1234]

I recently installed a B550 Gaming Plus motherboard and when I started the computer up the mic would hum really loudly when I would try to talk in game

What kind of mic, gaming headset or free standing mic?

What kind of mic, gaming headset or free standing mic?

im using apple earbuds but like when i talk in game or on discord no sound goes through but there is a constant humming noise that they hear. I thought it was the hd audio cable but I replaced the case and I replaced the motherboard and I still have this issue. The only motherboard that the mic worked fine on is the x470 motherboard but I have a r5 5600x so I wanted to use the newer motherboard.

I think you need to buy a splitter to work on that motherboard.

For my case it’s the Corsair 4000d so it doesn’t need the splitter. It worked fine before but now it’s making this noise

Try turning off mic monitoring in settings

I think I have that turned off already. I'm saying people hear the loud beep coming from my mic.

Do you use a control panel for that headset, like an equalizer and mic boost? I would see if mic boost is enabled, sometimes the setting can be too high
