My Roccat Kave headset always had a somewhat static mic. I know it because I use TeamSpeak all the time, but I guess it was tolerable enough that people dealt with it. Now couple days ago I got a new Mobo Z97X G7 along with an i5 4690k.
I got a new problem now. I got this constant humming/static sound in my headset. Moving any window around and I think mouse in general produces another static sound on top of it. The only way to some-what suppress it is by turning Kave's amplifier sliders to no higher than ~40%. So I thought ok I can deal with that, at ~40% it is barely noticeable, but nope another surprise.
This time, when I play games and my gtx780 is under stress, I hear a NEW sound in my headset AND my mic. Low high pitched noise in my headset and my buddies on TeamSpeak said my mic starts to sound like there is a moped/lawn mower on the background. Heres the thing though, as soon as I minimize the game people tell me that my mic sounds PERFECT and I notice that the high pitched sound is gone from the headphones.
Things I have tried:
-Disable front audio
-Use different USB ports
-Disable all recording and audio devices that I do not use
-Moving my GPU down one slot
