I have a neewer nw-700 and I'm having an issue when it comes to recording. When I record on audacity the mic picks up everything I do on the keyboard, mouse clicking, and headset sound which is louder than anything. On top of that my voice is still really quiet. I have tried using click removal, but it doesn't remove any of the clicking. I am also limited on noise reduction because if I do too much it washes out my voice even after altering the bass and treble. This is the only thing that is stopping me from posting videos because it picks up everything in the room and outside but hardly my voice and I haven't been able to fix it with audacity. Any suggestions?

Right click the speaker icon usually located in the lower right screen corner.

Select Recording devices and then your microphone.

Get into Properties and drill down through all of the windows, tabs, and settings.

Explore first and check other devices as well.

Then take a look at Playback devices and use the same method.

Look at the mixer.

Do not change anything at first. But do keep some notes so you can go back and make some configuration change that seems to be applicable to the problem.

Very likely that Audacity or some other audio related app has set things up for its' own purposes.

Try the troubleshooter as well. May find and fix something.
