I have a constant buzz/noise from the microphone. How do I turn it off?

Question

There is a constant buzz or white noise sound coming from my computer. I hit mute but it doesn't turn it off.

Answer 1

The simplest way to turn off the buzz is to actually mute it in the sound options. This happens because the microphone is too close to the speakers. Even if you mute the microphone, it will still work normally and you can talk without problems. Secondly, try muting the LINE IN in the sound configuration interface. This is known to cause buzzing on PCs.
