Windows 10: Static/Electricity Sound in Microphone.

So I just updated windows 10 today, and now my mic doesn't work. People say that whenever I speak, it sounds like a tesla coil, like arcing electricity. I've tried updating my drivers, disabling all audio enhancements, etc. and so far nothing has worked. Anyone have ideas, or have had this problem as well?

Odd electrical static sound and no enhancements available for microphone.

Hi Aaron,

For better assistance, we'd like to ask the following:

• When did you start experiencing the issue?
  
• Were there any recent changes made to your computer prior to this issue?
• Have you tried to use another device, then check if you encounter the same issue?

We're looking forward to your reply.

Static sound

I've got no idea how to fix this even after hours of searching, I've checked videos and they all seem to have an option of 'noise reduction' in the enhancement section of their microphone, but mine appears to be empty and I can't find a fix for that either:





Any help would be appreciated. One odd thing I've discovered that makes me think it could be a problem with my ports is that if I enable 'listen to this device' and unplug the headset, the static noise persists.

 

Microphone producing constant static!

Hey, I have a PC Windows 10, 64 bit which I recently got about a month or two ago. I have a headset which has a microphone that was working perfectly fine a few days or a week ago. Suddenly, the mic stops working and starts producing an obnoxious static
sound which is constant.

It doesn't detect my voice or anything other than the constant static. The Microphone listed in Sound, then recording is 'Realtek High Definition Audio'. Please help! I've tried everything to fix the problem but it's not working!!!!

I've tried to uninstall and update the Realtek driver for it. I tried to reinstall the Microphone through Device Manager. I've tried to troubleshoot the Mic by troubleshooting the Recording Audio in 'Hardware and Sound' but it doesn't troubleshoot the static!!!

Please HELP!
