Microphone keeps making static/buzzing noises.

Hello LTT! I have been having this issue for a while now. My computer keeps making my microphone have this weird static/buzzing sound constantly. I used to have a blue snowball and tried swapping out the cables. When that didn't work, I went ahead and bought myself a HyperX Quadcast Microphone and the problem still exist. The microphone is brand new because I bought it today. Anyone have any fixes? Thank you!

The problem is most likely electrical noise (ground loop) from the usb port... have you tried different USB ports? if not due so... otherwise maybe try plugging the mic into a powered usb hub and see if that stops it.

worst case and problem still persists you can try a USB noise isolator such as the Topping HS02 or HS01, but definitely try different ports and / or powered usb hub first.

you may also try unplugging other usb devices one at a time and see if you find one device that is causing the ground loop...
