Hi,
I own a Blackwire 5220 USB Poly Headset, which is connected to a USB.
About two weeks ago, I got an update, and from the moment I did the update, every couple of minutes, I got this buzzing sound.
It never happened before the update, only after.
I waited to see if there would be a fix, but apparently, they did not release a fix, or they were not aware of this problem.
So this is why I am making this post, to ask if any others have the same issue.
My version is
Solved! Go to Solution.
