Question / Help USB microphone audio randomly static

[ettore]

I, i've this issue with usb microphone. If i change microphone or USB port it's the same. Randomly this issue appear and than disappear its self after 30-40 seconds. The audio have interference and some echo, like a robotic voice. i can unplug the usb cable and replug and i fix, i can also wait some seconds and the issue disappear.

I use recent macbook pro with elgato game capture in one usb port and the microphone on the other one.
Any idea? Maybe some problem with the usb port? but if i switch elgato and mic is the same. And why this problem doesn't remain but just appear and disappear 2-3 times every hour per just few seconds?

I also have static with my USB mic. It's the mic that came with Dragon Dictate. It has similar issues -- random static for about 30 seconds, that clears up, shows up perhaps every two hours or so. I have not paid enough attention to know how frequently it comes up, but it's often enough that I use Jack Router to send a copy of my mic pickup into my earphone so I can tell when I need to stop talking.

check your plugin being used. if the demo period has expired you will hear random static as their way of forcing you into buying the product.
