Searching for a good usb audio card to fix mic noise

[Zahroxx]

So I recently got a HyperX Cloud, the one with 3.5mm audio jack. I get very loud noise from the mic when i connect it to my laptop. But I got no noise if i record my voice from my phone. After a bit of research I found that an usb audio card can fix the problem, possibly because of grounding issues. But then, there is a lot of option for usb sound card. Any recommendation for a good and cheap one? Also if you have any other solution please share with me too.
Thanks!!!

Yeah ground loops can be a pain. With laptops sometimes if you switch to battery only or vise versa the noise will go away.

Depending on the actual source of the noise usb may not solve your problem. If you get one, get it somewhere with an easy return policy. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesnt.

Personally if its just on the mic and not all of your output id try simply gating it out. Thats just me though... dealing with lots of unbalanced instruments and amps that are inherently noisy. If you cant hear it over your voice then noise gating works really well. Depends on what youre recording for.

Probably have a bunch more to add when im home. Ton of things you can try.

Sorry for the late reply. Apparently yahoo decided that TechPowerUp email is spam. What do you mean by "gating"?
