My problem is that, when I plug my Hyperx Cloud 2 headset into mt PC with the USB dongle that comes with the product, the microphone doesn’t stop buzzing when I try to listen to it (on Discord or in Windows). I also got a file of the sound that the mic sounds like. When I plug it into my laptop it works fine, but if I plug in the charger it starts the noise again. I hope someone can help me.Recording.mp3

This certainly is interesting, if the issue only persists when the device is plugged into the wall it could be a shielding issue, though it likely isn't on the computer side if it happens with both of them. Perhaps the USB dongle is extremely susceptible to EM interference, are you able to try any other microphones? If so you could use that to isolate the source of the buzz. 

 

Honestly I'm not sure what's going on if it works fine when not plugged in (to the wall) but taking steps to isolate the source of the buzz could help determine where and what the fault is.

So do you think if I put a mic on my desk near my headset it should make the buzzing go away?

Not quite, I was just interested in seeing if we could diagnose the problem. If you have another mic laying around and can check whether it also has the buzzing that could help us figure out whether it's the USB dongle that's broken or the microphone itself, if it seems though the USB dongle itself is the issue you should be able to plug that headset directly into the 3.5 mm jacks on a computer (may need adapting) and if so that could save you the trouble of looking for a new headset.
