Mic not working and chainsaw buzzing-like sound

ShadowReaper451 · Jun 15, 2017

Hi, I was using my Xbox elite controller earlier with Razer Kraken Xbox One headset in the audio jack port, when I decided to see if my new Razer man o war headset for my PC would work since it also uses an audio jack, and the mic and sound worked great at
first, but then, this weird chainsaw-like buzzing sound started to override all sound though my headset, and when I'd unplug it, the mic wouldn't work even if the buzzing stopped, so I restarted my Xbox One and used my normal headset, and at first everything
was fine, but, like the other headset the same problems started to occur. I checked the sizes and shapes of the audio jack and they seemed very similar if not identical, so I don't know why this is happening and would like to know a way to fix it if possible.

Hardware problem

Hey all!

This isnt something i need alert help on, just something i really want to ask, that some of you may be experiancing.

Ok, everytime i charge my controller and also insert my mic to talk, me, and sometimes maybe other gamers can always hear like a buzzing sound coming from my mic, now, my mic doesnt actually show its making a noise on screen, because the mic symbol doesnt
show it, however it is making a buzzing sound. My question is, is there a make to fix this, or are Microsoft/Xbox working on this problem directly?

Thanks

Post update: Turns out Xbox uses digital audio and the man o war is analog, and since none of the ports were used long enough for anything to completely break. Now that it has had time and I'm using only digital headsets, it is fixed.

Have you inspected your wire for any damages? A droning, buzzing sound usually comes from some kind of damage in the line, like a crossed wire or something of the like. Is the rubber on the headset damaged? If you've been through many controllers and
it still manages to make this sound, it is leading me to believe that your Headset is to blame (and that is a nice piece too, hopefully it isn't broken).

A lot of damage always seems to come at the connection end or the end nearest the actual headphones because those are the least flexible and always end up severing somewhere around that part. Usually it'll just stop working but if the wires create a current
through the wire that isn't broken, you'll end up with electrical interference and that will cause a scratchy noise when talking if it still works, or a flat out, annoying, buzzing sound. The same works with Ethernet cables, but I digress. Have you tried
using another Mic to see if the issue persists?

If your controller is vibrating and it's causing your mic to buzz, you might have a bad wire in the connection part and every time it rumbles, it may be very quickly and constantly touching and then not touching. Does the buzzing go away if it stops rumbling?
Or is it there all the time?

Hi,

Nope, it doesn't work on my console or wireless. When plugged in with USB cable, the buzzing is constant and sounds like an electrical buzz. The vibration motors don't seem to go off when this buzz happens.

Do you have the volume on your TV turned up?

As if you do, the sound can be picked up by the mic. And the resulting feedback it generates usually causes the buzzing sound.
