microphone

Hey all, New to Tom's Hardware and I need some help. I got an AudioTechnica AT 2020 and my friends hear static at random times. I fix it temporarily by disabling and re-enabling the Focusrite that it connects to, but then it happens again at a seemingly random time later. Here is a video link...

Hello, About a month ago I've encountered a very strange problem with my laptop. The microphone stops recording any sound whenever I put the laptop to sleep and wake it up. It won't work for an extended period of time, and sometimes it'll just suddenly start working again. The sound driver...

In Windows 10, I was trying to delete every program I thought I didn’t need (using Add / Remove Programs). But I think I must have deleted something that my headset microphone needs to work. I was trying to make a phone call with Google Voice, and it will not detect the microphone no matter...

I recently bought a new AT2040 microphone and upon hooking it up it is super quiet and I have to have everything turned up to max to get the volume to just below average volume level. I have the volume in windows turned up to max(100), I have it plugged in through a Behringer UM2 with the gain...

As said, whenever I'm talking through discord, game chat or even OBS my Blue Yeti microphone has this noise gate filter added on to it and severely lowers the sound quality. HOWEVER, only on Fl Studio does my mic sound perfectly crystal clear. I've updated my drivers for both Realtek and Blue...

Hello. This is probably a fairly common problem. I googled many similar cases on the Internet. However, I still don’t understand the reasons... The microphone records either too quiet a sound or with noise. At the same time, the equipment is quite high quality: - External DAC Sound Blaster X7...

For some reason, all of a sudden my mic sensitivity got very low and people can hear themselves through my mic. If I were to lower it, they wouldnt be able to hear me but barely hear the sounds. All in all they could hear the sounds more than me and if I lowered it they wouldnt be able to hear...

The audio from it sounds kinda robotic and i can barely hear myself. The louder i speak, the more you can hear it. The weird part is, the microphone sounds fine on my friends pc, and its also been working for the past 3-4 years normally. There had been no windows updates in the time it broke...

Hello there, I am @Vikko151, a newbie in mechanic. I decided today to plug the front panel's sound jacks to my Sound Blaster Z card. Everything worked fine, but the microphone jack don't work. I tried to verify that the connection wasn't bad, but it looks quite good; my sound works pretty...

I factory reset my computer completely and the next I know my microphone dosen't work. I try to get it to work and it ends up working just ever so slightly. It barely relays any sound coming from my microphone. The bit rate is 48000 Hz. How do I fix this?

Hello. On my PC, my microphone volume is extremely low. Even in the test, SIRI (or whoever) says they could not hear me clearly. The little coloured bars hardly move when I speak. However, the speakers work fine. I have read up on this, and I have found and adjusted every possible sound...

So I recently "upgraded" from a Blue Yeti USB microphone, to a AT 2040 XLR with the Evo 4 interface. But I've had nothing but issues. First of all the 2040 is so quiet that people can't hear me in chat, unless I turn the gain on the Evo 4 to 100%. I'm fairlyu certian that at 100% gain it should...

Hello all, I`m currently working form home and I use Microsoft teams a lot, and I have a big problem with background noise. How can I stop the background noise from being picked up by the microphone? Is there a product I can get to help with this? Thank you.

I've been having this issue for a few months now and I've been so frustrated about how much static there is on my mic. I found a few causes of this static and I do not know how to fix them. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o8kMev_Nv4 (reference video) My microphone is connected in the...

My headset microphone is not detected when plugged into my monitor (which is connected to my GPU via HDMI). The output works perfectly fine. My microphone will work when I plug the headset directly into the audio/mic port in the front panel, though the monitor audio is much better, and I would...

Just the other day I discovered my microphone is not transmitting my voice. After further inspection, I cannot get the mic in/mic in rear panel (pink) to work whatsoever. My headset's sound output is detected as a mic input. I have tried reinstalling old realtek drivers (pre 2017), the most...

When I playing games and my GIGABYTE 3060 ti is at 100% load or near it has a strong coil whine. Thats ok, I don't mind. But recently my friends say they can hear an annoying buzzing while we are playing games. And yes, this is true, if I record a video I can hear it too. I link the recording so...

I just upgraded my phone to a Galaxy S23 Ultra today and when I tried to use an audio recorder app it tells me "Another app is using the microphone" so I went into permissions and made sure it was the only app with permission but it still gives me the same message. does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, I tried to use my wireless earbuds with my ps4. To do it I used my monitor port for headphones. I plugged 3,5 mm jack in in and plugged the other side in my computer microphone port and it works but there is constant buzzing noise. I tried my to connect my wired headphones directly in the...

(tl;dr at the end) Hi all, Starting in late December 2022 I started noticing a sort of "static" sound produced by my microphone that was very noticeable while using low latency monitoring on my Blue Yeti Nano. This static sound was also audible in recordings, but only if I max out the gain and...

When I have high fps in a game or the game is intensive the mic in discord lags for my friends then stops working completely. I either have to unplug and replug it or reselect my mic and headset in discord as the playback and input devices. Never had this problem with a headset mic, so how do I...

Hello everyone, so recently i bought new headset for gaming but i've been having some problems with it, most of the multiplayer games my teammates think im playing on speakers when i talk with the microphone, they can hear my gameplay sound through my mic. Is there any settings or something to...

Not sure under which forum to post this so its here. Im having issues with my microphone being pretty quiet 90% of the time but sometimes it randomly goes extremely loud. I can replicate the problem a 100% of the time by muting on the headset and unmuting. The headset is Razer kraken 3.5mm...

Heya Guys, I've encountered a really odd issue which I've been facing with only Overwatch 2 alone - every now and then I'll be playing the game with my friends on discord, and my entire desktop audio will cut out for around 3-5 seconds, come back fully in sync with my entire desktop and game...

The problem was fixed by manually installing graphic card drivers, and manually installing webcam drivers.

So recently my microphone stopped working on my Ge75 Raider. I'm unsure if it was a windows 11 update or maybe Nahimic/Realtek driver or something else. I've tried using the wired ports on the left side, a USB-C adapter, a USB soundcard 3.5mm jack adapter but to no avail. The sound works on all...

This happens on Discord but when it does it cuts my MIC everywhere. I dont know when it started but it usually happens mid game session, it wont happen for 30 minutes and then once it happens one time it'll keep happening after 2-3 minutes over and over and the temporary fix for it is to leave...

[Moderator edit: Moving thread from Computer Peripherals to Home Audio. More applicable category.] I bought new AT2040 with Behringer Um2 and I have to turn the mic gain to about 2 to 4 oclock to have decent volume. But from that gain level I'm start hearing that background hissing like...

I am trying to set a headset on a laptop for video meetings. (This is NOT my main computer which is a desktop, but on my desktop I have such a big screen that people get upset because I can't look at them and at the camera at the same time...) Laptop model: Asus ProArt StudioBook H5600QM...

When im calling friends on discord, every now and then it'll suddenly decide to just stop letting my mic work. This happens everywhere and seems to only be caused by discord as far as im aware. It also doesnt happen all the time, sometimes itll just not happen and other times itll happen...

When I use only one of the audio ports for headphone or for microphone then its fine the device works fine but whenever I try to use both of them together for headphone and microphone usage, it just doesn't seem to work, the audio starts cutting out in the headphones and my voice cuts out in the...

Recently my friends notified me that they can sometimes hear my games - youtube in the background, even when my microphone is muted (i am using the G332, which can be muted by simply putting the microphone back into the headphones) I've tried alot of stuff, most solutions said to disable stereo...

I've been using my blue yeti since 2017 with little to no issue, a few days ago I was sitting in a discord call with friends, I take off my headphones and leave to do something and come back, and everything has that weird blue yeti muffling sound, and when I unplug-replug my yeti all input sound...

Hi, I have a headset that I had to fix the middle of the jack cable, the problem is that using the 4 pins all work fine (mic and audio), but if I use the USB adapter of 4pin that my headset bring (that before the fix all worked,), the microphone is not working but other headset with microphone...

So, recently I have bought a pair of logitech G733 headphones and when I play games like Cs:go or Valorant my mic stops working (sometimes it turns off, not always), and I can't talk on the game or on discord. I fix this problem via re-connecting the usb to my computer, but it comes back after...

I am using this gooseneck microphone called the JV-601PRO. What is the difference between using the physical knob and changing the volume levels in the windows sound settings? I would think the knob changes the microphone gain itself which is how sensitive it is to picking up volume, and...
