Fresh installed windows 10 and when I plug my sennheiser game zero headset in the 3.5mm jacks I sound like a robot when I try and talk. I have tried talking right after a complete wipe install with usb and no drivers and have also tried after installing the mobo drivers (Gigabyte X79-UP4). I feel stuck.

Hello,

This issue may occur due to corrupt audio drivers or settings.
I would suggest you to run playing audio troubleshooter and check if it helps. Please follow these steps:

a. Type troubleshooting in the search box on taskbar.
b. Click troubleshooting in the search results.
c. Click "View all" and then click "Playing Audio".
d. Click "Next" and follow on-screen instructions.
Please also update audio drivers from the computer manufacturer's website and check the issue.

I realise this is a super late answer, though I have a fix.

I had the same problem with the same headset, I remedied this by removing the 'usb extension' cable that came with the headset. After directly plugging it in to the computer USB it was fixed and I've never had another issue.

Hope this helps anyone looking for a solution here.
