Astro A40 problem

[Dantastico]

Hey guys i have this pair of A40s, and i really like them but theyve been making this weird "bzzt" sound every few minutes. I do have the mix amp. Any help would be great, thanks.

What do you have plugged into the mixamp?

What motherboard do you have and do you have them plugged in via USB?

Turn down Both dials a bit, sometimes i have noticed that it does not like sitting there with no noise and midway or higher.

That seems to really help, thanks.its still there but more faint. is that just something i have to do now? theres no like fix? Im reminded of Louis CK's joke about his busted knee "for how long do i do this stretch" "thats just something you do now" lol

Its pretty much there at idling noise. When you play music or do things it SHOULD go away, but doesnt always. Its a known issue. Not entirley sure how to fully fix it, thats just what ive done to remedy it.

The only problem I have is that I get is this really loud buzzing noise when I plug the usb cable into the xbox but it only does it on the xbox so I'm guessing it doesn't like certain voltages. Try plugging it into different ports 

 

If that doesn't work then you can try updating the firmware on the mixamp.
