Mic problem

[Guest]

Haai, as you all know all my Poundland's £1.50 mics are shit

So today I manned up and bought a £35 pound headset like a baws, It's still really bad, but ONLY in CS:S anyone got any idea's?

Its probably a problem with your sound settings or something

Hmm, I've gone through all of them, and they all seem fine?

What kind of bad? (Way to loud bad?)

Its one of those microphones that are all staticy and when they speak it just muffles all the sound for other players

Are you using a USB headset? Or the 3mm jack ones? Is this also the case with the other headset?

From the sounds of it, it may be a sound card problem if you use one. Try turning down microphone gain in css and turn the levels down. If you got a better mic now you shouldn't need the boosting options.

Another thing, is your pc fan loud? Do you have a fan running in your room? That tends to cause a lot of static.

Cday i had the exact same problem, go into control pannel, sound, recording tab, you should have an enhancments tab click that a check the two boxes that say loudness equalisation and low frequency protection. Thats what fixed mine

Hi, Twist, it's not a USB headset, got a 3mm jack, and yes its the same with other mic's i've had, and no fan anywhere in the room, i'm going to try re-doing my sound card tonight. Thanks.

Hey Flux, I can't seem to be able to find the "Enchancments" tab? Followed your other steps.
