I have a ge62 2qd apache pro gaming laptop setup next to my Xbox. I run an aux cable from my laptop to my Astro a40 mix amp pro so that I can listen to music and podcasts while I play. Today a buzzing began playing into my headphones through the aux . It is loudest when the laptop is plugged in, very soft when it is not. The volume setting on the computer or mixamp doesn't affect the volume of the mix amp. I have tried multiple aux chords, it still buzzes. I have tried headphones directly plugged into the computer and there is no buzzing and I have plugged the aux from the mix amp into my phone and there is no buzzing. I did setup a new monitor for my Xbox today, I do not know how that would affect things though.

Sounds like you are getting electronics feedback.

NOTE: It is quiet normal for heaphones plugged into a computer, or other device, when not playing any kind of sounds, to have a static like sound on them.

Here are some things to try.

3. Try a different set of headphones and see if they have the same sound problem.

4. Plug the headphones into a different device and see if you get the same sound issues. If so, it may be within the speakers...

6. Upgrade your headphones. All recorded audio has a degree of noise or static; how obvious it is to the listener depends on the quality of the media it’s recorded on, the playback technology and the listening device. Replacing your headphones with a noise-reducing or noise-canceling set could clear up the problem.

7. Worst case, if the problem happens with multiple headphones, you may need to replace the sound card.

Question from SPAWN of II : "Buzzing In Headphones Using Aux Cable"

I have a ge62 2qd apache pro gaming laptop setup next to my Xbox. I run an aux cable from my laptop to my Astro a40 mix amp pro so that I can listen to music and podcasts while I play. Today a buzzing began playing into my headphones through the aux . It is loudest when the laptop is plugged in, it does not buzz when unplugged. I have tried multiple aux chords, it still buzzes. I have tried headphones directly plugged into the computer and there is no buzzing and I have plugged the aux from the mix amp into my phone and there is no buzzing. I did setup a new monitor for my Xbox today, so I began unplugging things to see if it would go away. When I unplug my monitor and Xbox the buzzing goes away.
