Ok, well I purchased a 70$ headset that was attached with a mike around a year ago. Everytime I record, you can hear a distinct buzzing noise. When I record music you can't really hear it, but it still annoys me. I've turned my recording level volume down and it still doesn't do the trick. I've tried a 9$ headset as well and I still get buzzing (not that that helps much ^__^)
Any help?
While I don't know the quality of the $9 headset, ..this could mean that it's your sound card/input that is causing the buzzing!
Does your sound card have an input labeled "Line In"? (assuming that you're currently using the input that says "Mic")
If so, try connecting your headset to that input[Line In], then go into the Control Panel --> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Audio, and click "Volume" in the "Sound recording" Section. Now, check the "Select" box under "Line In", and make sure there's volume. This will tell Windows, and programs running under Windows, to "listen" on this Audio Input[Line In]. If "Line In" wasn't an option, then go to Options --> Properties, and make sure that "Line In" is selected/checked.
If this does nothing, or makes it worse: simply reverse the above instructions, and ..that's all the help I have D:.
[The above instructions may differ if your Sound Card uses its own software]
