Hi Hazzem,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are getting a buzzing sound while using a microphone on your PC.

For better understanding of the issue, please provide us following information:

1. What is the make and model of the computer?
2. Are you facing the same issue while using microphone on another PC?

The cause of the buzzing sound could be from a variety of issues, depending on what type of microphone you are using and how you're using the device.

Following are the possible cause for the buzzing sound, make sure that you follow the suggestion provided and see if it helps:

---

Sound Settings

Adjusting your sound settings could resolve a buzzing sound. Check that the microphone volume is not set too high, and turn off any boost options. Sound settings that are too strong may over amplify the sound and cause buzzing.

Microphone Distance

Holding the microphone too close to the sound source while using it may cause buzzing or distortion. Hold the microphone slightly away from your mouth while using it to reduce any buzzing or humming noises.

Electrical Disruption

Sometimes, other electrical devices near the audio system can cause a buzzing sound because the microphone picks up the electrical output. Keep the microphone clear from other electrical devices and move the microphone wire away from other wires to reduce the buzzing noise.
