All the above kind of assumes a US-like outlet. I don't recall where
the OP resides/works, so that may be all wrong.
Correct.
North Dakota.
It's a desktop in an old house.
The outlets have ground-fault protection,
but the third prong is ungrounded.
You can get cheap devices that plug into a 3-prong outlet and have little
LED lights that indicate whether the wiring is correct, as regards ground
and neutral, or not.
Also, it's possible that you've got a cheap headset/mic combo that does
not have the shielded audio cable wired correctly. It's also possible
that it's a cheap-a** rig that doesn't even use shielded cable from the
plug to the mic/phones.
It's an Insignia NS-PAH5101
It does not have a separate power source,
just plugs for the pink and green sockets.
The cables are pretty thin.
If the problem is shielding,
is there something I could do to shield the cables?
