Steel Series 5H help

by yLoz • 13 Feb 2007, 16:00 • Journals
I have just got my new Steel Series 5H in the post and i have connected it up and the headphones work fine but the microphone doesn't. When its on it makes a fairly loud buzzing sound that can be heard though the headphones and through Vent. The strange thing is that when I touch anywhere on my case it stops. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Sounds like a grounding problem, is it a new case and pc unit? or is the only thing new the headset?

I know that steelseries have a good returns policy, perhaps this is a dodgy headset.

Does the buzzing stop if you turn down the volume on the headset controller thing?

Slighty, there is less buzzing Low than there is on High.

Either your headset has faulty wiring or you should check out your (integrated) sound card.
