mouse causing headphones to buzz?

[kate]

Ok, so I recently got a new corsair harpoon rgb gaming mouse and I've noticed that ever since I gotit my headphones have been making a quiet buzzing sound every time I move the mouse. I'm not completely sure it's the mouse as it seems to constantly buzz im games etc but it's very frustrating.

Try plugging the mouse in a differnet USB port. One that is as far away from where the headphone is plugged in.

Tried that with little success. It seems doing things that the computer needs to fully process produce louder sounds eg the mouse makes a quiet sound while running a game makes a loud sound. Also tried different headphones.

What are you system specs?

The software isn't working for me so I'll just tell you what I can remember:

gtx 760 graphics card
intel i5

Where do you have your headphones plug in?
Is this a USB headphone?

I am mainly interested in what motherboard you have.

UPDATE:

It seems it may be an issue with the headphone jack itself. I plugged the headphones into the back and had no buzzing. Unfortunetly, I kinda need them to be plugged into the front jack. I sthere anything I can do or is it busted?

No just a regular round headphone jack.

Make sure the audio connector is properly connected to the mobo that is all you can do.

Okay well I guess I'll just have to live with it being plugged in the back and needing to remember not to lean back to far haha.

Thanks for the help though.

To much static noise for the case ports, which is why you don't get the issue when plugin to the motherboard, you can get a USB audio adapter, or get a extension core, for your audio jack.

Yeah may go with the second one, thanks!

Don't plug Keyboard / Mouse / USB Headsets, into USB 3.0 ports; those use a high frequency all the times for speed bandwidth, even when the device only supports USB 1.1 / 2.0

If this is Analog Headset, avoid using Front Audio Connections; since they are usually poor and not grounded and/or shielded well.

Avoid any USB adapters, they make the situation worse.
If you need USB, get a USB DAC, which allows for Mic or Headsets without the need for Sound Card. These are better as they have their own Codec and Power modules (similar to expensive sound cards) and would be better then any USB adapter. Best bet is avoid USB headsets too.

i have the exact same mouse and am having the same issue

What is your motherboard?

Some gaming motherboards will have isolated audio cards, but standards ones don't. This can create an interference between other component nearby.

Using the back audio ports, rather than front ones, will help a lot in this case, as they don't link via cable near the USB ports.

If you devices use wifi or bluetooth signals, try disabling those for now and connecting it via cable. The only other option is swapping USB ports used or returning the device and getting a different one, unless you want to purchase a MixAMP or separate sound card to use instead.

Don't use front case jacks, they are pure junk
