Razer Nommo Chroma Hissing?

[Fictionvl]

Hello LTT,

 

I recently bought a pair of Razer Nommo Chroma, to replace my Logitech Z213. 

My set-up is to use the receiver for my Arctis 7 to connect the 3.5mm AUX cable to it so I can seamlessly switch between my headset and the speakers.

but when I did that and turned on the speakers I got a hissing sound, so I connected it directly to my motherboard audio jack and it worked totally fine, even though my older speakers didn't have this issue.

 

Now it works fine when it's connected to the PC, but I can't switch between the Headset and the Speakers seamlessly anymore. I have to go through the sound option in windows to switch, if anyone can help me with this I would be thankful.

Try and plug the pc and speakers into a different ground loop, it sounds like a group loop issue.

Please explain what you mean by group loop. I have all my wires tucked into a sleeve for cable managment.

ground loops are generally by floor, a ground loop is the loop of ground wire in your house. try plugging the pc into a different room, or even better, a different floor

So a quick update on this topic, the Razer Nommo is just bad, I went back to the store after trying everything, and tried a 2 different pairs, same issue, then I got a Logitech G560 which not only had an amazing sound, but also no hissing what so ever.

 

lets just say that Razer should stick to making mice and keyboards.

I agree that razer should stick to keyboards and mice.. even the chroma pro for 500 pounds you can get awesome speakers for 500 from swan or polk or even dali.
