When playing PoE, weird Static/Buzzing noise in headset

Hello,

I've had this issue ever since I started playing Path of Exile.

So basically, when I launch PoE I am getting this weird buzzing sound in my headset, even if I set the games volume to 0 through in-game and sound mixer.

The "static/white noise/buzzing" sound only stops when I enter the passive skill tree or turn down my headset volume (little wheel on the side of my ear piece).

I have noticed that the sound changes as I enter my stash, my inventory etc, it goes from buzzing to screeching to white noise etc.

I tried googling and I didn't find anything that sounded like my problem, every thread on google had people get weird sounds from the PC itself but I am getting the buzzing sound coming from my headset.



Just in case, Here are my general specs:
ACER PREDATOR G9-791
i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz (8CPUs), ~2.6GHz (3.2GHz Turbo)
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M 8GB

I am using Sennheiser GAME ZERO Headset (Non USB)

Removing the foreground FPS cap worked for me

Sounds like a typical laptop electromagnetic shielding issue, which presents itself as an audible buzz when your CPU/GPU is under strain. The only thing that I can see fixing it is externalizing your soundcard (e.g. to a USB DAC). You can mitigate it by various almost snake-oil methods but it'll never really go away unless you fix the shielding issue which the external DAC mainly accomplishes by distance between the components.

mfw fell for the 2017 necro

same issue if i remove fps cap it works fine but with fps cap i got audio distortions in whole system.

thank god for this post, I was going crazy
