  1. Buzzing/static noise from headset when i play games


    So i just got a new pc, and its got a geforce rtx 3080/ intel core i7-10700f cpu 2.90ghz

    And prior to this i have had no problems with my headset making any sort of unatural/unwanted noise. But now as i plug my headset in the front of my pc, once i enter games the pc starts working abit louder than before i entered the game, and the buzzing/scurring sound starts in my headset, i tried some things to try and narrow down the reason for this.

    Firstly i lowered the ingame fps from (unlimited) to 30, the lower i got the less buzzing i had in my ears, when i reached 30 it completely stopped, but id rather not play 30 fps on every game i ever touch.

    I also tried plugging the headset to the back of the pc, and this also removed the buzzing sounds, this time though the side effects was loosing the Realtek HD audio 2nd output, and instead having a "non hd" audio version, this made talking to my friends over discord unbearable, as their voice qualities was so bad i got a headache. So i really would prefer not having to switch inputs every time i want to play a game, not to mention if i play with friends its going to be unbearable either way.

    I have googled this for a couple of days now, and it seems the most common issue is the (coil whine). If i can't get this fixed before monday im just going to take it to repairs and see if they can sort it out.

    The main games i do tests with is total war warhammer 2, risk of rain 2, GTFO, dota 2, CSGO. I have tried lowering graphics, turning on Vsync etc, but it doesn't do anything.

    heres an interesting thing i noticed, i generally run all games in "borderless windowed mode" and always have. So when i turned it on fullscreen, and tabbed out, the buzzing sound stopped. Might be interest and it might not be, im no expert at all so im just giving out as much info as i possibly can to narrow stuff down.

    Also tried another headset and some earbuds, and every piece i plugged into the front of the pc always has the buzzing sound.

    I found some information saying it could be poor shielding in the front bit etc. But i would love for some peoples opinion on this, and if its a problem on the inside (something that should be taken back to the store to be fixed) or (something i myself can do something about) keep in mind i have 5 years guarantee on it, so it might not be best to "open" the pc as that ruins the insurance

    Id really appreciate any input, as i have sat here searching for answers for the last 5 hours, and i have gotten nowhere.

    Dualshock 4 speaker making horrible static/buzzing noise when connected via bluetooth

    I've been using my dualshock 4 controller to play some games via micro usb with no problems. I decided that I'd rather play with bluetooth connection instead due to wires tethering me to my computer. I bought a bluetooth 4.0 dongle and managed to connect
    it with no troubles. My computer detects it and I am able to use it to play games as if it were still connected via usb.

    The problem I am facing now is that there is a horrible static/buzzing noise coming from the controller's built in speaker that fluctuates when using it. All of the forums and such that I have seen suggest turning the controller volume down, however no such
    option is available on pc. There is no static noise when connected by usb.

    The strange part is that sometimes when I click down the L3 button (left analogue stick) the buzzing will stop. It will either continue when I let go, or stop briefly and then continue once I start using it again. It also stops when I plug my headphones
    into the headphone jack on the bottom of the controller.

    I have tried using the built in reset button on the controller, restarting my pc, using the suggested program 'DS4' as well as not using it, and uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for the controller.

    The controller works fine when connected, but how do I stop the buzzing noise as it is awful to listen to.
