Hello everyone!
So here's the issue; my mic has this really annoying hissing noise in the background when I record with it. It makes it sound cheap even though it isn't. I've heard crisp audio that was recorded with this same mic so I know I'm not crazy in thinking it's not the mic quality!
My mic is a V-moda BoomPro mic and my laptop is a MSI GE62Vr
It has Nahimic 2 and Realtek drivers
The mic is plugged into the 3.5mm input

I have tried uninstalling the Nahimic/Realtek drivers, playing with boost and audio levels and editing software to no avail!
Any advice?

EDIT: I should also mention that when I have Nahimic installed, my mic becomes very quiet. So quiet I have to uninstall. Even with no software interefering, my mic still seems too quiet. Yes, my levels and boost are maxed.

Have you tried moving the microphone cable away from other cables? Probably the cable isnt isolated?

Have you tried to play via enhacements? Is the stereo mix disabled?

Yes I have. I have also tried enabling and disabling the stereo mix. I forgot to mention that when Nahimic is installed my mic is extremely quiet, which forces me to uninstall the software.
