Posted June 15, 2017 I will start from the beginning and give as much information as i can. I had g230 for 3 years and the mic on that headset was quiet and had static noise, whenever i tried to raise the db from 0 to 10db the static was even louder. After it broke i bought the g231 hoping that it wouldn't have that kind of a problem but i was wrong. Once i plugged it in and opened voice recorder on windows 10 the problem was the same, microphone is 100 and boost is 0db. I have an asus h110m-a/m.2 motherboard, also something that i forgot to mention is when i used the g230 on another pc, it had the same problem but when i used it on a laptop of a friend with 100 microphone and +20db boost, the sound coming from the mic was very clear without the static noise, same goes for the g231 too. I don't understand, is it my motherboard's problem? How can i fix it? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 15, 2017 sounds like (no pun intended) interference on the motherboard's DAC. You can get an external DAC or switch to a USB headset Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down. - Adam Savage PHOΞNIX Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.75GHz | Corsair LPX 16Gb DDR4 @ 2933 | MSI B350 Tomahawk | Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ 8Gb | Intel 535 120Gb | Western Digital WD5000AAKS x2 | Cooler Master HAF XB Evo | Corsair H80 + Corsair SP120 | Cooler Master 120mm AF | Corsair SP120 | Icy Box IB-172SK-B | OCZ CX500W | Acer GF246 24" + AOC <some model> 21.5" | Steelseries Apex 350 | Steelseries Diablo 3 | Steelseries Syberia RAW Prism | Corsair HS-1 | Akai AM-A1 D.VA coming soon™ xoxo Sapphire Acer Aspire 1410 Celeron 743 | 3Gb DDR2-667 | 120Gb HDD | Windows 10 Home x32 Vault Tec Celeron 420 | 2Gb DDR2-667 | Storage pending | Open Media Vault gh0st Asus K50IJ T3100 | 2Gb DDR2-667 | 40Gb HDD | Ubuntu 17.04 Diskord Apple MacBook A1181 Mid-2007 Core2Duo T7400 @2.16GHz | 4Gb DDR2-667 | 120Gb HDD | Windows 10 Pro x32 Firebird//Phoeniix FX-4320 | Gigabyte 990X-Gaming SLI | Asus GTS 450 | 16Gb DDR3-1600 | 2x Intel 535 250Gb | 4x 10Tb Western Digital Red | 600W Segotep custom refurb unit | Windows 10 Pro x64 // offisite backup and dad's PC Saint Olms Apple iPhone 6 16Gb Gold Archon Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE Gulliver Nokia Lumia 1320 Werkfern Nokia Lumia 520 Hydromancer Acer Liquid Z220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2019 Hey, I was wondering if you purchased that external DAC and if it helped you in anyway as I currently have a g231 and am experiencing a static noise in my microphone. Thanks.
