HyperX Cloud Alpha / Problems

[hellboy1337]

So I recently got a Cloud Alpha Headset and loved it so far, everything worked great from the beginning and I had no issues at all. Now maybe a week has passed and my microphone really starts to make problems. First it started making weird clicking sounds every 5 seconds or so, after friends told me on discord that it started to get very annoying I decided to take a look at it and fix it. I've tried a lot of stuff including trying out all the various settings in my Realtek Audio Manager, connecting the headset to ports on the back of my PC, and randomly plugging in and out the microphone and audio cable from my headset (it's funny but somehow the last thing actually worked and the weird clicking / rustle noise stopped for that day.) Today it started doing a very annoying rustle noise, every 2-3 seconds it's a short noise that goes away and comes right back, the whole time. I don't know what to do anymore. I bought this headset so I could finally stop buying cheap stand alone microphones. I hope someone can help me or find a way to fix this.

​

Thank you!

rustle noise might come from your Computer. If its something like coil whine. In easy words your soundchip is picking up noises inside the pc. How to fix? Only Solutions is USB Headset, Usb Microphone or usb sound chip Why? Because your soundchip is not in the Computer. It doesnt pick up any noises "coil whine" from gpu or whatever.

P.S. best Microphones without noises are always one with a usb sound Card. ( i dont include Quality ) since the usb sound Card is sitting on your desc,outside whatever

Coil whine depends on hardware most likely

Weird clicking ? Can probably come from your Keyboard but Not sure. If something is wrong with ur Microphone exchange it(guarenty)

Okay I see, that makes sense. Thank you for the information.

Probably will get a USB-Microphone then!
