Hi just bumping this to see if anyone has any solutions. I've been having the same problem. It seems to occur whenever i put my headset down on my desk.

The problem still lives...

I get static noise after connecting to a ventrilo server. It however stops when I close ventrilo.
I've tried two Banshee headsets, on 4 different computers, and all give the same results. None of the computers was running or started running the process referred to earlier in this thread.

Programs it affects;
Ventrilo
Teamspeak
Steam friends chat -> only while calling.

Listening to stuff that doesn't include the mic is not a problem though...
It seems being in a program that plans on usage of the microphone gives me static noise...
How on earth to fix this, I don't know.

I have found a fix which works for me!

I noticed that if I restarted the Windows Audio service it fixed the problem 99% of the time. I'm not sure why exactly, but it works.

I have also made a quicker .bat version of this, which makes the fix a lot quicker:

Save as SoundFixer.bat and it needs to be run as an administrator

+ Show Spoiler +
@echo off
net stop Audiosrv
net start Audiosrv
echo Service Started
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto error
exit
:error
echo There was a problem
pause


Hope this will fix everyone else's problems.

Generally you dont need software for a microphone/headset to work. You only need the software for special features, such as the lighting in the razer banshees. Your computer should have no problem detecting that theres a headset and a mic plugged in either via 2 3.5mm jacks or via usb

Is there a permanent fix anyone has figured out? Just got the Banshee a couple weeks ago and experiencing the same problem. I don't have the VID Audodeck process to close.

Guys, try connecting the cables directly to the motherboard and not in the front panel etc. This has fixed one static mic problem for me. Always keep your drivers up to date too.

Yes the problem is fixed. Download the latest firmware and upgrade it. If you have a Mac you need to do it in WIndows.

There's a firmware update released on April 4th 2012. You guys should try it out to see if it helps.

I've had the static problem for a long time now as well. As the psoter above mentioned, I also just DLed the update.

However I have this other issue and I'm curious whether other people also have it. The microphone seems to have problems detecting when I'm speaking. I use the Ventrilo Setup to test my mic, instead of bothering people on skype everytime I want to test it, and since it plays back what I say it's more convevient than having to ask what the person is hearing.

So lets say I'm on skype with a friend, and I'm talking.. it's quite positive they won't receive a single word I say. Or maybe they might only hear half a word out of the whole sentence, because my mic only decided to register that one or two syllables. I didn't always have this problem. When I first got the headset, it was perfect and everything worked properly and I was quite happy. But for almost a year now, the mic has been unuseable.

Going into Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording, only my banshee is enabled, everything else is disabled. Going under Properties -> Levels, it's at 100%. Under Advanced, I've tried Exclusive Mode checked and unchecked (I don't know what it does so I tried both just for the sake of it).
Refer to my post.

Buy something better. I would suggest looking in the audio thread

i know this is necromancering like hell, 3 years, but i know what the problem was for me, if you pull the mic out and look at the plug, you should see a groove etched in it, the bit that makes contact wears it down, the debris and new gap is the static, to fix, replace the mic, or maybe re solder the groove, bad design, but the only real flaw, i think rewiring the mic hard onto it would completely fix it, other wise flipping the mic up and down will just cause it again.

again sorry for the res, but i found this looking for something else for this headset, and i am sure it's all of your problems, felt it necessary for anyone else that may stumble here

edit, 1 year since latest, don't feel as bad
