Originally posted by zxcv1fu I just added a video PCI card next to my sound card. Now my microphone has a continuos noise to the person that I am suppose to chat to.
Is my microphone going bad or the interference of the video card?
Depending on which video card it is, it may have audio codec's on it as well (for MPEG for instance). Try to see if there is any audio on your video card you can disable. Alternatively, if there is a good Audio codec on your video card, you may be able to eliminate your sound card.
finally, sometimes you can feed the audio out of the video card directly into the sound card via line-in. If there is "humming" that's often because the line-in is connected incorrectly.
