My pc have recently begun making a static sound whenever it is playing any sort of sound. It gets worse when the volume is higher, and when there is no sound at all the noise is gone. I have tried to test it with a different headset, but the problem persists. My primary headset is Steelseries Arctis 7, and my other headset i have tested is Steelseries Siberia 200. The first is a wireless headset connected via USB, while the later is connected by a 3.5 millimeter jack. I experienced this problem with both of the headsets, so it is a problem with my pc.
Things i have tried already:
- Turning off different drivers in device manager, and listening if the noise was still there
- Updating drivers
- Reinstalling my sound drivers
- Using different ports
- Dissabling all enhancements in my headsets properties
- Changing the audio format
- Ressetting my pc
My system specs is:
CPU: i5 7500
Motherboard: GA-H270-Gaming 3
Ram: 2 x Kingston HyperX fury DDR4 2400MHz 8gb
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5"
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 3.5" ST1000DM010 1TB 7200 rpm
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC
PSU: Corsair RM750x 750 Watt fully modular
OS: Windows 10 x64
I think that it might be a hardware problem, considering my different fixes. I suspect that something is wrong with the motherboards integrated soundcard, but I researched the topic and found that an USB headset should be its own soundcard. If this is the case, then my motherboards soundcard isn't to blame. Am I wrong in this? Or is there another part that might cause this problem? It is also possible that i am wrong in my assumption that it is a hardware problem, and if that is the case do you know any possible fixes to my problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
