I've tried every combination imaginable. The buzz only occurs when I have the y-split connected. My pedals, cables, etc do not cause the buzzing. It is some combination of the y-split+USB-PC cable (i.e. rocksmith) that is causing the buzzing. The thing fawktastic posted is what I have seen others suggest may fix the issue, but I don't want to buy anything just for the buzz issue. I can stand just using the in game audio. I'd rather invest in a new amp down the line. Thanks for the help. If I get any progress on this I'll make sure to post, but from what I've read it's just an issue with using the split and can't really be helped if you have it without buying equipment.

Yep, from the second I set it up. What amp do you have? I also read something about the grounding thing, but have no idea how to solve it. I only have a cheap bass amp as I only own it for practice really. It only has bass, mid, treb and presence settings which if I play with I can lessen the buzz, but not completely. For instance if I turn the mid all the way up the buzz goes down a bit, but I don't want to play with that setting. I'm curious if I can somehow solve the grounding issue cheaply. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've been using a Y-split so that I can use my amp and the RS USB cable. It's a 6 dollar Y-split and gets the job done except it creates a lot of unwanted buzz. I can minimize it a bit with adjusting the settings on my amp, but it is still very annoying. Does anyone know what causes this? Any cheap solution to fix/minimize it? I saw on another forum how to use a more expensive splitter to get the job done, but I'm not really willing to spend that much money.
