ty! my x31 turtle beaches starting a low hum sound and after disconnecting and reconnecting to no avail I watched your vid and thought “why is my TB x31x powered by my computer’s USB?” I guess I was using my USBs on my xbox360 before so I used my computer’s….I dont use all my 360 USBS anymore so I decided to power it that way…and guess what? HUM = GONE! ty
Thanks a lot. I was about to buy a new set of headphones. And only because I was using Dragon Naturallyspeaking IN AN EFFING ROOM FILLED WITH WET CLOTHING AND ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES!!
Now I’ve got no problems with the sound. Just as you said.
No, the grounding has nothing todo with this noise. It is the quality of power supply in your laptop that makes appear this noise. The power supply (voltage stabilizer) inside your computer is of low quality and does not filter out 50/60Hz noise. I had this problem too – exchanged my laptop and noise disappeared.
ok my laptop’s charger (which it is always plugged into) only has 2 prongs… so does it have to have 3? does it even matter? someone help me please! i also have a TV, fax machine/printer/copy/scanner (thingy), and a lot of lights and rooms VERY CLOSE TO MY COMPUTER, does the electricty matter?
nice, but i hear a slight highpitched humming/buzzying noise on my desktop. It usualy only starts when im in a call on skype. If you could help me id appreciate alot. Its a Rocketfish Universal Wired Gaming Headset (RF-GUV1201).
@feo130 Only if you live in an old ass house. And even then, the receptacle might not be grounded at the box but it is grounded in some way (screw touching the box). Technically, its still grounded at the panel.
@traalex1 dude, according the video he is correct, let me explain how I tested, same problem with new mic, old mic was fine doesn’t matter laptop is plugged or on battery, bought new headset and now have issue when I plug laptop if it runs on battery works great, probably the issue with electric circuit in home which is not grounded, not the laptop, bro you wasted time to exchanged laptop
in case you didnt know, its called “DC hum”.. a result of the E Field. (The field generated around all conductors, (cords, curcuits, everything electronic) in this case it Comes from Alternating currents.. also called “Mains Hum” (electric mains=the outlets in the house.. One thing you can do if you still have some hum left is to use a ferrite torus or bead.. loook it up if u didnt know.. hope I could help.. peace
oh yeah one more thing, try using all shielded wires to block RF also!
