I have realtek on board audio. I like to make gaming videos and in my recordings there is a background noise thats sounds like air or water flowing in the background and it will do it no matter what. I can hide my mic in my drawer and it will still have the background noise. What do you suggest i should do? Either 1. Its my mic or 2. its my souncard? BTW my mic is a plantronics a355. THANK YOU!

At 3:13 this guys uses the Xonar and his voice sounds great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga4fC8GQJTQ&index=1&list=LLcHicgCzGUxpwFRBdcthXQQ

No, i get no noise when unplugged. I suspect I need to upgrade my microphone (mine was $30)?
