Hello I recently bought a new headset (Siberia v2). I have them connected to USB 3.0 because when i was using my USB 2.0 they just stopped working sometimes. The problem is that I noticed that when PC is under load they start popping and crackling every few seconds, if I am just listening to music or watching movies it´s ok but when i start playing games it jus tstarts doing that. Can someone please help me?

I'm assuming the fuse responsible for regulating the power to your USB ports is probably having a hard time managing the power. It's also possible that the PSU might be of questionable quality. Have you made sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard while you're also on the latest chipset/USB drivers for your platform?

Make and model of your PSU and it's age?
