So it all started a couple of weeks ago when I bought a Logitech G230 headset.  I was happily dancing around, and plugging everything in the right port; it was practically heaven.  However, after getting on a multiplayer match, almost all of my teammates told me that there was a buzzing sound whenever I spoke, and even more noticeable when I didn't.  Naturally, I had to test it myself.  So I went to the windows sound options, and enabled the listening option.  Unfortunately, it was true.  There is a buzzing sound (which I included in a link below).  My first thought was to test a different mic and headphone pair (which i knew were ok) to see if it was the headset which was defective.  Nope.  The experimental headphone/microphone solution also produced a buzzing sound.  Next, I though that it was my sound card (I have an ASUS XONAR dg) so i went to a very old pc that I had before, and took a Creative Sound Blaster audigy fx out, and installed it on my current computer.  In my opinion the problem got more noticeable, but that thought aside, the problem is still there.  I did some research, and I found some possible solutions, even the most bizarre things.  I tried disabling AMD HDMI sound option from device manager, since I did not installed the AMD HDMI controller from the driver.  STILL THERE.  WHY?!?  Anyways, then I tried some other stuff that I knew were not going to have any impact on the problem, like "grounding the computer"(No idea, apparently that's a thing with computers, and were you plug them) and tweaking bios settings like PCIE latency timer, among others.

So now I'm stuck, and out of ideas.  I would like to know if anyone had any problems like this, and if there is a possible solution.  I did observed, however, that the buzzing sound changed wherever i moved my mouse (Time 10s-20s in demo.)  In addition, connecting the headset to front port minimized the sound, but it is still there.

Computer specs are fx 6300, msi 970a g43 (On board sound disabled), msi r9 270x, Asus Xonar dg, and other stuff.

Last notes:  I did have a usb microphone before this, and it did not make that sound.  The mute switch on the headset was also turned off during testing (muted), and even like this, there is a buzzing sound.  Sorry for my peasant computer, I can't afford an 18 core cpu with two titan x's in sli.  Donations are kindly accepted :D

@Luis815 Are you using the front HD audio jacks? or the one's in the back?

 

It might just be interference caused by other signals.

 

If not try lowering the Mic gain.

@RedSphyxis I tried both, rear ports and front ports.  The buzzing is always louder at the rear ports.  The problem with lowering the mic gain is that this microphone does not pick sound very easily.  Although I could get around that, the problem comes when, for some reason, I need to mute my mic.  I do this very frequently, and that's one of the main reasons i picked this headset.  Any other ideas?

@9justinas9 Can you explain how the sound might come from the power supply?  I have a corsair cx600m, if it matters at all.

well simply when the psu ground point is not clear or good filtered it will have all sorts of simmilar sounds its probably your cpu chokes making that sound rapidly switching between for example 10-0 amps and it creates that sound have you ever heard your phone charger buzz it works somewhat simmilar ? also gpu does same thing ever heared of coil whine? yes it add add up noise to the ground point and your psu is the one that filter all the high frequencies. your psu is on the cheap side btw so its possible that cheap caps is fucking up there. oh and btw when i connected speaker to usb on my power bank it had a noise witch is rf and when i connected to my rm 750 absolutely no sound was reproduced
