Yesterday, I started getting a wierd light buzzing "vibrating" noise coming through my headphones. I have an external sound card, which should NOT be the issue. The headset is plugged directly into it.
When I open volume mixer and disable system sounds, it goes completely dead silent, as it should.
Anyone know what could be causing this? This is like water drop torture for me. It's not bad, but it's slowly building aggravation.
For reference, even though the hardware is likely innocent, I have an Asus Xonar DX sound card, and a Razer Taimat 7.1 headset. I'm running Windows 8.1 with the latest updates.
Three notable events occurred at roughly the same time that this happened:
A: I installed Oblivion and had to use some heavy compatibility settings.
B: I began remote controlling my PC from my work PC using Teamviewer.
C: I installed Shark 007 Codec pack (x64 advanced).
Keep in mind though, the first two shouldn't be causing any issues as far as I know, and I uninstalled the Shark 007 Codec pack just to see if it was the cause. No change.
