  1. Microphone sound quality drops


    So this problem started a week ago when my microphone hyperx quadcast sound quality dropped. Before I fixed it through the control panel, device manager, and anything to do with sound or devices. When I tried to do the same it didn't fix it at all. I have it plugged into my laptop so I'm not sure why it would differ from my PC because it works fine on there but on the computer completely 180. I'm just not sure what to try now. I've looked at videos that all had the same stuff but nothing worked.

    Hi I'm Peter an independent advisor, you could try the following:

    Step 1 - Run the troubleshooter

    a) Press Windows and X key together and select Control Panel.

    b) Click on Troubleshooting.

    c) Click onView all option on the left side of the Windows.

    d) Click on Playing Audio option.

    e) Click on Next and follow the onscreen instructions to troubleshoot the issue.

    Step 2 - Check your microphone’s drivers

    1. Type in “Device Manager” in the Search box and select it from the list.

    2. Expand Sound, video and game controllers

    3. Right-click (or tap and hold) your microphone device and select Update Driver Software.

    4. Select Search automatically for updated driver software. This option will scan the Internet for the correct version of the driver or determine if you already have the most recent driver installed. You may be prompted to restart your computer to install the
    driver.

    Step 3 - Manually turn up the mic gain

    1. Type in “Sound” in the Search box and select Sound (Control Panel) from the list.

    2. Select the Recording tab.

    3. Right-click (or tap and hold) on the active microphone input device and select Properties.

    4. Select the Levels tab.

    Manually drag the Microphone gain to a higher level and click Apply.

    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 Update your audio drivers: Outdated drivers can sometimes cause problems, so make sure your audio drivers are up-to-date .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.
