Question

Mic Squeaking Noise

Aug 3, 2017 8:40PM PDT

Mic Issues

So guys my mic is making a weird squeaking noise, pretty sure it sounds like feedback.

Let me explain to you:
I am using a Sennheiser Game One headset, so im pretty sure it's high quality. When I used it on my MacBook, there were no issues. Now I have gotten a new PC (Windows 10), it is making a squealing noise behind my voice.
I am sure it is not the mic because I tested various different earbuds and headsets and they all make the same noise on my PC, but not on my MacBook. So that leaves me to thinking it is the PC. For the headset, it is using a usb adapter
so I can plug both the input and output into one location. I tested it without the usb adapter and the results are exactly the same. What could it be?
Please let me know if you need more info, thanks in advance.
