White noise from microphone.

[Son1c]

This is a strange problem im having, my mic is working perfectly fine, and some times while im in vent I get white noise and I have to restart the program and in-game it sounds fine, other times I get white noise in games and I have to restart my game and in vent my mic is fine? Sometimes it all works like normal...
Im really confused.

Sound card: Sound Blaster audigy 7.1

That could be a need for updated drivers or a Windows glitch there. Occasionally just booting the system with a wav assigned to the start Windows function a blast of scratching noise like static will blaze away. Upon a fast reboot that disappears. See if there a new update for sound and try that.

there might be some static interference from other devices you have, the microphone must be sheilded from any magnetic field. this can be from a tv, radio or other transmissions.

check this monitor cable for example, as you can see the cable has a bump this reduces noice coming from outside interferance

That would be a trap or filter inline there. Most mics have straight cables that are somewhat vulnerable to RF and other types of interference.
