the cpu cooler definitly wont affect this.

Either the microphone in your headset has died or the audio components on the motherboard are faulty. Do you have a laptop to try and test the microphone? If not then I would contact ASUS again.

Thanks for the reply..

 

i just downloaded a new driver from realtek website and installed it...

 

and now tried talking and now there is no kind of noise... but now the microphone doesnt even pick up my voice.. i have to keep my mouth real close to the microphone to speak.. only then my friend can hear me....

 

and one more thing i noticed... when i had the problem... there was this option called conference mode it was on in the realtek hd audio manager.... and now its off... and now when i turn it on i can hear the noise and also i dont have keep my mouth close to the microphone to speak...  but if i turn it off i cant hear any noise and i have keep my mouth close to the microphone...

Try going to sound>Playback devices>(The microphone you are using)>properties>levels Make sure the level is turned up. Did you try using the microphone in another device to rule that out?

Just buy an external mic. You can get a blue snowflake for $30, headsets break all of the time, they're made very cheaply.

If it's some kind of humming or hissing noise, it may be the result of a ground loop. The easiest way to solve this problem is to use a ground loop isolator or connect the headset to some external DAC and/or amplifier, though for the price of one of those you may as well just grab a simple USB desktop microphone like an Audio-Technica ATR2100 or the previously mentioned Snowflake.

I think you should relearn what a ground loop is - they don't happen with onboard audio.

Lol... totally missed the motherboard part. Too used to having my own mixers and everything

I tried the microphone in another device and there too i couldnt even hear my voice unless i speaking close to the microphone...

RMA the headset if you can. If not, Zalman clip-on is pretty cheap on Amazon.com and similar on .co.uk

That means that the mic in your headset has died

Well i bought a new headset Razer Kraken Pro.... and i can hear myself really fine if im using the list to this device option.. but when im talking with someone else they cant hear me.. tat is they hear me so lightly but they can cleArly hear the fans or other noises..  what could be the problem?

[syaoran7li]

today i got a Webcam which a friend bought for me.. Logitech C525 which has a built in Microphone.. so i tried using it... but still i can hear the bacground buzzing noise.. i have attached the audio file with the buzzing noise Untitled 1.. and untitled 2 is with everything else turned off like fans and TV... its just produces noise somehow... T_T
 

Also i attached a image of my recording options.. where u can see the microphone is alway on...

 

Hope u guys can help me...

 

also i have a doubt having a UPS right below the Systems makes this kind of noise?

 

Thanks..

That's called background static - it happens on every mic...

This, the Zalman clip-on mics are surprisingly good.

ohhhh..... there is no way to stop it?

will try it out..

[Physc]

unless you go for a really good mic, there is always going to be background noise.

 

try turning on background noise suppression.

No - every microphone & piece of audio equipment has a noise floor.

Normally I would say adjust the levels of the input device but you don't really have the option with your setup. Your best move would probably be to get a new microphone.

The first clip sounds to me like feedback, are you using speakers with this mic and do you have windows set to "listen to this device"?

 

The second clip sounds like a normal mic on a normal motherboard.

[ShearMe]

My mobo drivers have noise suppression built in - check to see if yours do, OP.

 

The second clip sounds like a normal mic on a normal motherboard.

 

Unfortunately, as funny as it is true.

well ya i turned it on to hear how it sounds.. and then its like tat...

 

so its normal tat it sounds like tat? i mean the second clip?

 

is there someother way to check everything is working fine tat the person talking with me doesnt hear any noise or stuff?

[mr moose]

the second clip sounds normal to me, I would just play around whit the volume levels until you get the best results. Otherwise the only other option is to start looking at usb mics.
