Problem with USB Headset

[Bastinka]

The problem is, I can hear everything fine. But in some games I hear a lot of annoying static. I was trying to play Frets on Fire, and that just gave me a bunch of static, BioShock gave me some static. When I switch back to my non USB headset I can hear everything without static. The reason I like my USB Headset and will only use it, is because it has really nice bass while this headset (regular) plays static for headset. I don't know if it's my sound card or the headset itself, any way to fix it?

Anyone? +Rep to anyone who can help me :X

Well... are you using a onboard soundcard? If so you might be hearing the "noise" of your computer processing things.

Snaf told me something about the Threshold.. But Idk :X

You can listen to music and such just fine, though, right?

If so, then it's probably your soundcard (maybe your drivers)

Try changing sound settings within the game. If there is that option, change sound from hardware to software. I had onboard sound, and on BF2, when my settings were on hardware sound, I always heard static and all the sounds were slow and choppy. When I changed it to software, everything was normal. So if you have onboard sound, it's better to use the software sound option, if you have it.
