I'm having an issue where my microphone has a persistent buzzing sound that completely drowns out my voice. I've tried several troubleshooting steps like using different headphones, switching audio jacks on my PC, and even reinstalling audio drivers, but nothing seems to help. Here's an example of how it sounds: [example](https://videotourl.com/audio/1774723736599-4cf3cdc2-b4f8-4032-9513-5c19ca9b1998.mp3). I'm at a loss and not sure if this is related to hardware or software problems.

It sounds like you might be using the wrong cable for your setup. If your PC only has one audio jack, make sure you have a TRRS connector (with three plastic rings). Additionally, confirm that you have the right driver software for your sound card so it can detect the headset properly. If you have separate jacks for headphones and mic, you’ll need to use a specific headset or an adapter to convert TRRS to separate TRS (for headphones) and TS (for the microphone).
I just checked my adapter, and it looks like it's TRRS to TRS plus another TRS. Could that be causing the buzzing?
