So, I bought Tritton AX 180 and I'm having this problem, that whenever I play a game, I hear a buzzing noise coming from the headset and I can hear it even when I'm on my desktop. I have tried putting my normal speakers on and I cannot hear a thing.

My PC
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
nVidia GTX 560 DirectCU
AMD Phenom II X4 960T
600W power Supply
Nexus 92mm Real Silent Case Fan
 
Sounds like you have some pretty severe interference inside your computer If your headphones work well on another PC. It COULD possibly be a driver, but i tend to lean towards interference. You can get an AC line filter for about 40 bucks. My front panel headphone jack sucks because of the internal interference, so i just run a longer cable to the back. USB shouldn't run into that problem, but i'd never rule it out.
Uninstall the driver completely, and reinstall it after a reboot. If you still have an issue, and have access to another pair of headphones, try that. If that doesn't work, try another AC outlet in your house on a different circuit.
