How to improve mic quality.

Oakley999 · Aug 15, 2014

I have a siberia v2 headset, (non usb). And im getting a lot of static which is bugging me a lot, my voice seems fine and quite high quality, but i'd like to know how i can remove the static, im using windows 7, and a realtek audio manager.

Right click your Sound icon in the taskbar.

And select "Recording devices"
Right click your microphone
Properties > Levels
Now deselect Microphone Boost.
Hope that helped. It's a pretty common issue with mic static. You have a lot of YouTube tutorials on that.

I've already tried that. without microphone boost my mic literally picks up nothing. I need it on 10+ mic boost at the least.

Maybe your PC is causing some noise, do you have it sitting on the desk near your microphone ?

Oakley999 · Aug 22, 2014

no, its below my desk, the case has rubber feet and its on thin carpet.

Okay, I don't know anything more regarding Windows software fixes. Our last option is getting one of these

It should improve the mics quality because you're not plugging it to your sound card which may be affecting the microphones quality.

Alright cheers mate, might try this. are there any better ones than this? or is this a personal favorite that you might have used before?

DarioB · Aug 22, 2014

No I haven't tried any of those, I just chose this based on some reviews and that's it. But if you want to you can explore more of these.
And they're not expensive at all.

Alright, thanks for the answer, I'll buy the adapter you shown be once I get some money.

DarioB · Aug 22, 2014

Anyway, let me know when you do !

Also, another question, I took a further look into it, and a lot of people have said that it improves sound quality, how so does it with my microphone? does it improve the quality? or just removes some static?

DarioB · Aug 22, 2014

It should generally improve the mics and headsets quality, including the static.
