Anyone know if this strap will fir the Samsung Gear S3? https://kolooky.com/products/galaxy-active-2-watchband-replacement They don't seem to have S3 straps listed, but I must say I like the look of the blue metal.

You could try also running one of those magnetic tapes through it. Not sure exactly how it works technically, but seems to do something to the static, and I found it helped before.

I'm not too sure why it would be greyed out. Is it possible to use a completely different driver than Realtek? I remember I had a similar issue, but it was with my focusrite soundcard, and I was able to use an alternative driver for the stock soundcard that came with the PC. I can't for the life...

Glad you got it fixed. Sometimes you really just have to isolate the problem and rule everything else out.

I've been thinking about this also for awhile, but not sure when I would find the time. Surely there are some good resources on youtube?

Yes must be some sort of interference then if you have tried a different mic with same results. It must be coming from something. Sometimes you can notice a difference in "tone" in the noise when you turn on and off electrical equipment in the room. Might give you a clue. The bead might be...

Is it like a 1/4 inch jack or the smaller 3.5mm inputs?

It's difficult to know. I think the only way is to really try to isolate the problem. Turning it 90 degrees like you said is a start. Try switching things on and off in the room and see if there is any difference. I assume you have tried a different cable? Also it could be a loose internal wire...

Bluetooth can sometimes be a bit inconsistent. There can also be a small lag. I'd always plug in directly if possible.

I can't really hear the issue from that clip, but sometimes when a process starts running in the background, it can affect the sound for a few seconds. I notice it happening whenever the process in question is using a lot of RAM

Unbalanced cables are much more likely to pickup local interference. So if you can used balanced, I'd always use them.

Those warranty upsells always seem very convincing (but not in a good way)

Hey all, Peter here from Dublin. Glad to be a part of this.
