Hi Everyone

I bought a Game One and I love the sound quilty but the Mic quilty is terrible

I use it for streaming on twitch but the mic is awful, its a massive step down from my cheap n nasty Gio Tech ex 05 Lite

The mic sounds WAY better on that old headset



When I set up my Game one I noticed that the mic was barely picking me up at all and I have to turn the mic level up to 100 and then add mic boost as well just so I can be herd (this was in the basic windows options in recording devices)



I assume turning the levels all the way up and adding boost is what's causing the mic to sound terrible but i have no choice as if I dont the mic doesn't pick me up at all



all the youtube video reviews I watched the mic sounded great so I must be missing something



what am I doing wrong?

Can this be fixed?

Will a USB sound card help?



thank you for any help

I haven't but I have tried it through my Windows MR headset (VR)

The headset connects to the VR Headset and allow the mic and sounds to run through the headset

the headset is connected to the pc via USB 3 and HDMI

it works but the mic still sounds super low quilty
