Weird buzzing noise in Skype when playing WoW at same time.

[Deleted]

Hey,

So when I'm playing WoW and trying to talk to someone on Skype, a weird buzzing noise is always there. I can hear it and so can the people I'm talking to, it's only there when I have WoW up. It goes away if I tab out but comes back as soon as I tab back in.

It's really annoying for both me and the people I play with and it's got to the point where we can't play and Skype at the same time anymore.

I'm not sure what's causing it but hoped you guys could possibly shed some light.

You've tried running another game as well?

Distortion like this is not uncommon when using integrated sound and the system is under heavy load. Its especially common when using case-front ports.

Do you use USB mic/speakers, or analog jack?

Analog jack. Into the rear ports on my computer.

WoW is the only game that causes it though. I only use the onboard sound by the way, since I don't have an internal sound card.
