I was playing a popular steam game today (Team Fortress 2) and my headset decided that every second or so, it would make a sort of moderate static sound. Every 10 sounds or so, it would make a really loud, sort of disformed static that sounded like someone was blowing really hard into a microphone.
I also get random bits of static when I'm doing various things on my computer, but they don't happen often. I dismissed this until the game started doing it.
Are there any drivers that are necessary for using this headset? I just plugged themin since the first day I got them and just went straight to using them... It's not a big problem, I'm just curious as to what it is.
P.S. Apparently my microphone has a sort of ringing sound when in Skype calls. I've sort of deducted that it must be skype, since it only happens on that application, but I could be wrong. I tried changing skype audio settings but that didn't work either. Any help on these issues?
Just an update, about 3 minutes after posting this thread it just happened while I was playing music in Google Chrome on youtube. The static occured 5 times in around 5 seconds... pretty odd.
Thanks in advance,
Erick
