Windows 10: Bad Audio Quality When Using Soundboards

So recently my audio quality coming from my microphone when I play sounds from my soundboard sound low quality and muffled. I've tried Voicemod and Soundpad Demo and the audio quality from my mic when I record it still sounds bad. I think that it might be a problem with windows or another software I have on my laptop. Both soundboard sound exactly the same when I play sounds from them and this is really frustrating as I use my soundboard a lot. The audio I hear when playing sounds are high quality but my microphone is outputting low quality sounds across both apps. All help is appreciated!

Bad Microphone Quality after turning on Audio Enhancements

Hello,

There are a few things you can try to improve the microphone quality while keeping Audio Enhancements on. Here are some suggestions:

1. Configure your input device settings: You can adjust the input volume and change the format quality to see if it improves the microphone quality. To do this, go to Settings > Sound and scroll down to the Input section. Adjust the input volume, change the format quality, and test your microphone.
   
2. Update your audio drivers: Outdated drivers can sometimes cause problems, so make sure your audio drivers are up-to-date .
   
3. Use a noise reduction feature: If you’re dealing with background noise, try using a noise reduction feature to eliminate microphone background noise .
   
4. Use a dedicated microphone or headset: Many laptops have low-quality built-in microphones. Try plugging in a dedicated microphone or headset into your PC.
   

I hope these suggestions help you improve the microphone quality while keeping Audio Enhancements on! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Bad audio-quality over A2DP

Wanted to bump this again...

I'm running the mango beta right now and the A2DP audio quality is just lacking still. It sounds tinny, compressed, and just all around bad. I was curious if this would be fixed before the mango final ships or not, as I really want to use my wireless headphones
again...

My setup:

• HTC Arrive running mango beta 2

• Motorola S9-HD headphones

• All songs are 320kbps CBR MP3 or VBR V0 rips

• All songs sound excellent over wired headphones on the arrive, and they sound great on my iPod Touch over these wireless headphones.

I had a HTC Touch Pro II before this, and the workaround for the audio was to increase the bitpool and bitrate settings in the registry. The audio quality I have right now on my Arrive is reminiscent of my Touch Pro before I increased those settings, and frankly
it's a terrible representation of what these headphones are capable of...

I have also tested these headphones on a family member's Arrive running NoDo and a friend running mango beta 2 on the HTC HD7 and they all sound the same. My source files are fine, I'm a happy camper when I have wired headphones in, but I want to get away from
that... The sooner I can drop my iPod, the happier I will be...
