7.1 Surround sound horrible noises

I recently purchased the Razer Tiamat 7.1 headset. I noticed that while in the Federation Starbase I get a horrible crackling and hissing noise. This happens on the OPs deck and most noticeable on surfaces without carpet.
However, I take the turbolift to another floor and it's fine. But, if I join the queue for the SB fleet action and I'm on the OPs deck the noises continue into space. The only way to fix this so far is to quit the game.
Now, before you say it's my headset, I went to the KDF side, ran all around our SB there and could not reproduce it. I then logged back into my Fed character, went to the OPs deck and viola it was back. Tried it on several different characters and even went so far as to disable the Soundblaster X-fi F4t4lity card and run just onboard sound. Same thing. So, there's an anomaly on the Fed SB OPs deck with 7.1 surround or perhaps just the Tiamats.

I have the same problems with the G930 and so does a couple of people in my Fleet.
This problem was encountered before on Bajor and on the revamped DS9 when those maps first came out.
Please try to fix soon... While it sounds like the Starbase is truly under construction, it is auditory discomfort.
It's on the base as well, though intermitent around the transporter pads as far as I can tell so far. (edit)
Noticed this as well. I heard it in the KDF Fleet Blockade Event.

Ditto G35. It's the same noise as heard on Bajor when it was first opened. It also occurs in the Starbase Fleet Defense AFTER the first voice over at the end of the mission briefing period.
I have submitted two bug reports.
