So, my headphones and microphone have a constant hum that always is going on and only changes sounds when it seems like my processor is under load. I've looked all over the internet about having a bad ground, but if that is the case, then i can't find a way to fix it. I've tried plugging my PC straight into the wall, tried 8 different surge protectors, touching anything in my PC never stopped the noise, unplugging everything didn't stop it, messing around with and making sure MOBO screws are in correctly, everything. This hum is so annoying and i don't know how to stop it. I don't have a dedicated sound card and my power supply isn't a cheap one. Since it is a USB mic, i was wondering, if i can't fix the hum, if i would be able to get a USB to 3.5mm jack to plug in since Realtek Audio drivers have noise cancelling and such and having that active stops the buzzing in recordings. If any further information is needed, please let me know. Thanks!

you could try is going into your power settings and switch to Balanced
also, you can try removing everything from the machine except mouse, kb, monitor, power. see if removing peripherals helps.

just ideas. might be the mobo or psu, but all you can do is rma and hope for the best. even than, its more than $130 worth of work on your part figuring out what the issue is. might as well just get the interface/mic.

Sure, that could be an option but my microphone wouldn't be compatible
