Hi guys, first off I had a strange problem with my previous headset (Hyperx Cloud II) and my current Siberia V2, whenever I put the master volume any higher than 73 I got a strange continuous white noise, its very subtle however if I open any programs such as Teamspeak or open facebook and there's a video for example the white noise gets louder video the  which is annoying me, I tried on a laptop and I get the same results with both headsets.
 
Fixes I tried:
-Got new pair of headsets
-Gave my PC its own power outlet
-Tried different USB ports
-Uninstalled/installed latest drivers
-Played around with the settings in the volume for both recording and playback devices
 

Thank you

Are you using motherboard sound?

could be feedback or interference, as the user above said, Update your BIOS, if it continues its feedback my headphones give off a lot when I raise my volume

Update your BIOS. Probably not an issue, but it's happened before.

 

It's already updated to the latest version  :wacko:

So is it something that most mid-high end headsets will do? Is it normal? If I buy a sound card will it help despite being a usb headset. Cheers!

I thought you were using your motherboard sound? But it's USB? What?

Most USB based headsets will have some sort of interference or feedback, I have fairly high end headphones, they give off quite a bit off feedback, and as of the soundcard question, I would imagine not, but I have no clue.

Wireless headsets come with a USB transmitter that allow it to be wireless, Its not as simple as the wired ones are.

False.

No shit, but the OP said they were using onboard sound. Do try to keep up.

And you say the noise starts abruptly above 73% volume on both computers that you tried?

Yes, that seems to be point at which the white noise becomes noticable. And I would like to add it has happened with 2 different pair of headsets.

Are you running the same operating system and software on the computers you tested?

I mean, they're notorious for being not good in general and being plagued with various problems...
