String buzz

Hey forum i have a ? about stings buzzing, it's the B and E strings when i strum with any kind of pace or force.

Do lighter strings encouarage buzzing or do heavier ones, i know ive read it somewhere and i did a search on the forum and had no luck Then again mabey it's just my fingers

I'm using silk and steel strings from D'Addario or Martin and there all ive used, i like the feel of them there soft

I've checked the action, its fine and for my limited knowledge the inotation is ok as well. Mabey it's time to loose the silk and move on to steel. Mabey a light or medium gage.

Anyways thanks pples and thanks for the site

Sounds like you have answered your own question. Lighter strings are prone to more buzz. Mediums will give you more tone, but that's just me. You might want to start with lights and work your way up.
