ModMic 4.0 Static?

[LittleFanboy]

My friends were saying my old Turtle Beach X12's were making bad static and other random noises in Skype. Most people said it was the mic that was on it. So I bought the ModMic 4.0 Omni-Directional and disconnected the old TB mic and i'm using the ModMic. About a month after I started using the ModMic my friend said it was making static again. Its plugged into the back of my motherboard and the audio drivers are up to date. My motherboard is an MSI 970 Gaming. What could be my problem?

you could be having electrical interference (this is an issue on the motherboard side), can you try hooking it up to another device? like a notebook or something?

Its not the mic. The motherboard jack is badly shielded, and that is causing static. MSI stuff.

Dang, so there is no way to fix my problem?

"MSI stuff" there motherboards arn't usually badly shielded, don't know where you get your info.

before making those asumptions, try looking for another device, as I said, another PC or notebook.

 

If it's indeed your mobo, you will be better by getting a USB dac. A cheap one, no need to go fancy. $20 get you something decent for plugging your mic and headphones.

You should try to use your mod mic with something else such as a friends computer to see if you were just unlucky and had two bad mics. Other option would be to get an soundcard, since you would need a new 3.5mm port for your microphone and headset. Last option would be to return your modmic and get a  cheap usb mic.
