My desktop microphone is picking up desktop audio (videos, games, windows sounds, etc) through my headset regardless of how far away from the mic I am.
On the flip side, it always records my voice ridiculously quietly regardless of how close I get to it.
I have my recording volume set to full in device properties and a boost applied through my microphone settings and I still broadcast quietly.
Both issues together means I can either be heard by others, along with every sound my PC makes; or I can stifle the PC sounds but at the cost of not being picked up at all by my microphone.
I've tried turning on the noise suppression effect on my microphone (apparently reduces background noises) but this made no difference.
I've also tried using the Echo Cancellation effect (apparently designed to reduce noise from speakers) - also no changes.
In Realtek Sound Manager it shows my microphone as having both a "Recording" and "Playback" volume, I don't really get what that means but I've tried playing around with them both (turning them on/off altogether and tried changing the levels of each but nothing made any audible differences)
Any ideas?
I'm better with PCs than I am with Audio/Sound so any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm pretty stumped here.
