Headset microphone screeching when fully plugged in

So, I bought the Razer Tiamat 2.2 about 3 years ago, and a few months after getting them the microphone started screeching and whistling when plugged in. After playing around with settings and connections, I found that if I unplug the microphone a little bit, then it works perfectly.

Now, I understand that this isn't the most life-changing problem, but it's starting to get on my nerves a little, so I was wondering if there was something I could do to prevent me from having to constantly unplug my mic a little every time I wanted to use it

Well repairing headset chord is kinda difficult if it goes beyond your skill level. You can have them repaired spending a few bucks assuming that the headset is pricy and it worths the cost.

It looks like the problem is with your female 3.5 and not with the headset. Have you tried another micorphone to see if it works as it should?
 


I plugged in a new Logitech headset microphone and it works without any issue
