Weird mic feedback

[Genecidalic]

For some reason anytime i do anything on my new computer my mic (Razer Carcharias) is giving me wierd feedback. Like as im typing this i can hear the keystrokes in my headset. Help? Ive even uplugged the mic and audio jacks but just having the usb connected gives me weird feedback. Ugh its even doing when i scroll my mouse. What the hell

You probably have the "listen to this device" box checked.

 

Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound

Then click sound -> recording -> "the device name" -> listen -> uncheck the box (first one on the listen tab).

Is this a laptop?  Do you have an integrated mic that's turned on?

Probably the result of poor drivers or poor shielding of the audio circuits, or poor quality noise filters on the power circuits.

 

If this only just started, it could be a sign of capacitors on the motherboard going bad.

Ive also noticed that its just having my mic plugged in to usb. I can uplug my headphones jack and it still does this. Somebody please help me

Make sure that you are plugged into a black or white USB port..not a blue or red USB port. Do not use the case USB ports. You may want to remove any other audio software drivers . My CMstorm Sirus head set when used with the USB DAC will whistle and buzz. I needed to remove my analog software install the USB software..then reinstall the analog audio. It works now on both USB and analog, without the whistle and buzz.

I think im just going to buy a sound card. Ive spent so much time trying to get my computer running and built that this little inconvenience is just frustrating. I really am done with installing crap

[BroKenFingers]

Sorry to hear about the frustration, i hope that you get some relief with a sound card. take a look at the ASUS Xonar stuff,
