And no i don't mean it's amazing, i mean there is an irritating noise coming from my new headset. I was in asda today and decided to pick up a new headset there was one at £20 so picked it up. When i got home i tested it out on the downstairs pc (xp) and it works perfectly but as soon as i took it upstairs to the gaming pc (vista) it makes a terrible buzzing sound as soon as i run ventrillo or any program that requires use of the speakers, if i am just in windows there is no buzzing at all but as soon as i run winamp/vent/get an msn message the horrible buzzing kicks in again, anyone here have any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks

*edit* never noticed there was a sound forum :/ can a mod move please?

I'd suggest trying another headset to see whether your new Asda model is at fault. However, my hunch would be that your Creative drivers are the source of your woes on your Vista 64 machine.

If playing games is the main purpose of your system you'd have been better off to stick with XP for now. I wish you and your beloved Hiper PSU a long and happy future together.
