There is one old fashioned treatment which might help, at least with the inputs on your front panel, and that is ferrite beads or cores. I'm not certain whether this problem persists outside those two platforms, but it does persist across the two. Steam / Blizzard Launcher for relevant games.
I have two Amazon Basics male-to-female 3.5mm extension cables, running from the split cables into the headphone and mic jacks respectively (the base cables aren't long enough). Two 3.5mm jacks on the back for headphones and mic, as well as a LINE IN, two SIDE SPEAKER, and one SUB SPEAKER 3.5mm jacksĪn all-in-1 3.5mm headphone jack is split using an included Y-splitter to mic and headset 3.5mm connectors. Two 3.5mm jacks and two USB jacks on the front of the caseĪsus - Maximus VI Hero ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Any advice you guys can offer would be very welcome. I've monkeyed with Realtek a little, made sure that audio was separated into different streams, etc. I've looked up several tutorials on Google for this problem.
I am fairly certain this is a software problem, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I have used different audio jacks on my computer, used a 3.5mm to USB adapter, even used a USB mic instead of my headphone mic, and the problems persist. Discord still transmits and Skype Echo still picks up sound even when nothing is physically playing anything. I have tested this with the headphones turned all the way off. Furthermore, while in Skype calls, I am told that when my game gets loud it tends to cut out my voice if I am talking at the same time.
While playing music, videos, or games, while I am on Discord or Skype, other users have noted that snatches of sound make it through, and they can hear some of what I hear. This is a bit of a long story, as I've tried several times to sit down and fix this problem, but I'm going to try to keep it as short as I can.
