Question / Help Buzzing in headphones on launch

Hey Everyone!

I'm hoping you might be able to possibly help me out. I have OBS set up on my pc and have been using it regularly. I have fixed the issue I've had before with my mic causing audio interference when I stream (turns out it was just super sensitive, and setting a low-end cutoff fixed that)

But my problem that I can't seem to fix is that I get a really bad buzzing in my headphones/speakers when I open/launch OBS. My Headphones are the "Monster MVP Carbon".

When OBS is closed, my headphones are fine. I can push audio through my 3.5mm or my USB device setup, and everything sounds just fine. No buzzing, even at max levels. BUT as soon as I open OBS, I get this annoying loud buzzing through my 3.5mm connection. The ports have been cleaned and I have confirmed multiple times that the 3.5mm connection is functioning flawlessly.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this buzzing stop?

Thanks!


[EDIT] I just bought a pair of Plantronics RIG 500HD headphones and the buzzing is non-existent. These are USB-only headphones, so the problem is definitely with the 3.5mm connection through OBS.
