Question My microphone sounds terrible and I don't know why

[ImA Very big noob]

In all my 10 years of having a gaming PC I have always sounded trash no matter what microphone I have or computer I was using. My friends always make fun of me for it, I'm known as the 'bad mic' guy. I thought this was because my headsets were always mid range but I think I'm just cursed. I bought a HyperX quadcast for 120 pounds and thought this would be a good clean microphone. But no, once again it sounds horrible and I just hear a huge amount of fuzz and static, the gain is all the way down and the sample rate is 48kz.

Does anyone know why this is?

How long has it been since you've changed your motherboard? I'm guessing you're using a PC.
