Hello there!
I just made myself an account here on Tomshardware.co.uk.
Basicly, I bought the new version, so called XBOX 360 compatiable Razer Carcharias. The problem is that I get a small amount of static noise in my speakers in side the headset, however, that's a thing I could live with. They bigger and more nnoying problem is that on the actual microphone there's tons of static noise, which irritates the hell out of my friends that I am teamspeak 3 and mumble with. The headset has two 3.5 standard audio connectors that are lead to my ASUS Xonar DG, however, the headset also is powered by USB which is irronicly needed for this headset to work. So I have found out that the USB connections have static electricity in them and I have tried to connect to all of them on the back and even on the front and it is still making a lot of unbearable static noise. I've also read that you can ground your computer with copper wire. If I am doing it, where should the copper wire be connected? I've heard that it should be in the rear of the pc, quite near the PSU and be lead to something with metal. Is it completely safe to ground the pc from the back side of the case and to an element? Or is there any other ways of doing it? I've thought of another thing which is getting a AC powered USB hub that I have at home at let it be connected to the computer and then connect the USB hub with the USB cable from my Razer Carcharias headset? Would that work?
Much thanks from Sweden,
Artur.
