  1. Unable to change mic audio quality


    Hello!


    I've been looking around for a few days trying to figure out how to change the audio quality of mine and a friends microphone. Essentially, you just have to go to the advanced audio settings, and change the bit rate to the quality you want, hit apply and you're good to go.


    Unfortunately, every time we try to change the mic quality, windows tells us that something is already using the device and changing the quality could cause the application using the mic to stop working. We click yes, and the window goes away, but after going back to check if it changed it still shows the current bitrate it was on. Luckily mine is set to CD Quality, my friend has theirs set to Telephone.


    We are using corsair headsets, mines a Void, and theirs is a Void Pro. We've uninstalled the audio drivers, as well as the CUE and firmware and reinstalled. We've restarted and shutdown our systems. We have switched our default sound devices and disabled/re-enabled our devices. I dont know what else to do/try to allow us to change our bitrate for our microphones.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    ATR 2500 USB Mic quality dropped suddenly

    I've been using this mic for weeks to record voice overs in premiere pro on windows 10. Today the quality dropped significantly and I'm not sure why. Any help is appreciated - Here's what I've tried so far

    • Uninstalled and reinstalled all audio drivers (failed)
    • Did a system restore to a point created 2 days ago (failed)
    • Ran through security settings for microphone to make sure programs are allow access
    • Tested the mic on my laptop: audio quality seems good there still
    • Ran troubleshooter on sound devices (failed to find issues)

  3. Low quality audio in headset when microphone is activated

    Anytime anything activates the mic (Discord, Skype, Webex, the recording tab in the sound part of the control panel) the audio quality in my headset is very low quality.

    To Reproduce:

    1. Play music of choice
    2. Press the windows key and type sound
    3. Click the Recording tab. Music will change to low quality
    4. Click the Playback tab your music should sound normal
    5. Rip hair out in frustration
