Headset is making a static noise, and can't get rid of it.

DAKing240 · Aug 8, 2019

My current setup is an Xbox One X, Turtle Beach XO One headset, Turtle Beach adapter. Whenever I play on Xbox Live, other people in the party complain that when I talk, my voice also picks up a static or buzzing noise. The controller isn't plugged in, and
my GT doesn't display on the bottom of the party when I'm not talking.

I tried replacing the controller, I have tried a different mic (with and without the adapter), but nothing seems to work.

Looking for any suggestion to troubleshoot the issue. All ambient noise is off (AC and Air Purifier). Both controllers have up-to-date firmware.

Is you phone near you when this happens. Had a budys mic have this problem we could tell when some one called be for he did

Thanks for the suggestion. I tested a bunch of scenarios yesterday. The phone wasn't near me. Also unplugged my PC as its pretty close to the Xbox, just in case. Still had the issue.

Are you an Xbox Insider? As they have been having issues on some builds with voice in party.

I used to be. When I upgraded to the Xbox One X, I think I removed myself from it.

Sometimes the headset just draws electricity and builds up static. A lot of gamers I know use rubbing alcohol to get rid of the buzz or static

You can buy a ground loop isolator for $7 on Amazon. It will negate all static. I used this to remove static from my car speakers. If none of the other answers work, it's a cheap and reliable fix.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I usually power cycle every few days. I'll try again when in front of my system.

Could the Eneloop rechargeable batteries or a PC that is nearby be causing the issues?
