Hello everyone I have a strange issue and I don't know how to fix it. My headset mic transmits a very loud static/buzzing noise that sounds like a wasp when I play Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Spec Ops: the Line and Euro Truck Simulator 2. There could be more games that cause this but these are only known games that sets it off at the moment. When I play CS:GO the noise doesn't transmit until I'm in a match, it doesn't happen in the main menu but the moment a match starts it begins coming through my mic. In Euro Truck Simulator 2 it just happens randomly but mainly starts when I finish a delivery. In Spec Ops the noise is there all them time while playing the game. I don't hear the noise but friends have complained about it multiple times when I'm in steam or Skype calls with them. I used the playback call feature on Skype so I can hear the noise and it is really bad and I don't blame them for complaining.
The PC I'm using I built it myself a month or two ago and haven't had any issues at all. I didn't have this issue on my windows 7 laptop when I played CS:GO or ETS2 (I just got spec ops two days ago).
My PC specs
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboad: MSI B85-G41 PC Mate ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Patriot Signature 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card
PSU: XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Case: NZXT H230 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Optical Drive :Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 pro (64-bit)
I'm using a Microsoft Wireless 800 desktop mouse and keyboard. My PC is also using a wireless internet connection. I don't know if this means anything but thought I would just tell you.
The headset I'm using is a turtle beech x12. I went to the turtle beech website and found this guide on the issue but it didn't help much. I have my headset pluged into the correct jacks and it is being powered by the front USB 3.0

"Static/Popping/Crackling noises are usually the result of system resource
conflicts or excessive activity along the PCI bus. It could also result from
System overheating, failing fans or even an inadequate System Power Supply.
Often times this is caused by a Video Card, which are known to deplete
system resources in order to achieve better performance at the expense of
other applications."
I have checked my temperatures using MSI afterburner while playing some games including CS:GO, ETS2 and Spec Ops and they are fine. I'm pretty sure my PSU is powerful enough for my system (if it wasn't I'm sure it would have randomly shut down or BSOD on me by now). I have checked the fans on all of my components and case, there is no sign of them failing. My video card hasn't given me any problems and I'm using the latest drivers.
The only thing I can think of is there is an incompatibility with something and windows 8.1. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
