    mic cutting out


    hey all, general mic issue question. My ATR USB mic of about 5? years has just started cutting out pretty bad when talking with friends. Every time I try and speak more than a word or two I've been told its been cutting out pretty hard. I've since been using the mic on my webcam which isn't great but works fine and doesn't cut out at all. Could the mic just be getting old? Don't wanna buy a new one if it's an internal issue lol. Thanks!

    :)

    USB Mic Problems.

    The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

    Mic cutting out and very low sound.

    So, I don't know why this has happened and it started when I got it. I have a snowball. Not the ice version and I've confirmed it isn't wire related. I've switched modes on the mic and put the voice level to 100% but nothing works! It's low volume and cuts
    the good last portion of what I'm saying. Like: Okay, du (de). At the same voice and volume. Like one thing I did was just do AAAAAAAAh and 1/4 of it got cut out. I don't know what to do. Download drivers. (No clue, too dumb and will break something.) Download
    the Realtek thing. (What I'm planning.) Or dump it.

    If you could give me a list of things to do and how to do them that would be great. BTW it's not the mic, wire, but the software or audio config thing. Worked on other devices... (Only windows does it.)

    Thanks if you could find the fix to this.

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    This might occur when some of the mic setting got corrupted.

    I would suggest you to try running Recording audio troubleshooter.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Type Troubleshooting in the Search area on the taskbar and select
      Troubleshooting.

    • Select Hardware and Sound.

    • Select Recording Audio under
      Sound       and follow the on screen.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
