It's not the headset as the headset works fine on my Linux laptop and I've tested a different mic on the computer with the buzz/beep issue and that mic did the same thing. My sound test 'rig' is an old Logitech chat headset with stereo headphones and a built-in boom mic. Nope - can't be picking up the speakers as there are none hooked up. I can get a similar sound messing around with qasmixer (but not w/mic), so maybe you can get rid of it that way. Try muting all the inputs except the mic you're using. Edit: tho what MrEen wrote might make the setup different from windows), or some input from pulseaudio/ALSA. If so, it's probably feedback, either the mic picking up speakers (but if the same arrangement works w/windows, that's not it. This motherboard was previously in a different case with a different power supply) running Windows 7 and there were no issues there.Īnybody have any suggestions or thoughts on how to fix the issue? Thanks so much!!!

I also looked at the rear I/O Shield for the mobo and most of the tabs on that are touching the board other than 3 or 4 out of the many. I've thought it might be a grounding issue.some of the screws for the motherboard were a bit loose (not 'falling out' loose, but loose enough I could gently tighten them a bit more without them being overtightened). Link to a sample with me talking as a reference to how loud the beeping/buzzing is: It does this through the front OR rear mic inputs and also does it regardless of what mic I am using (I tested it with 2 different mics). Hi all! I just finished putting together a PC from old parts I had laying around to put Mint on for a family member to borrow for the time being (Intel Core 2 Quad, 8GB RAM, Radeon HD4000 series video card).Īll works perfectly, but I've noticed from testing it that the mic input has a VERY noticeable and annoying buzzing/beeping sound constantly which just won't do as this person uses Skype a lot to talk to relatives.
