I've gotten two mics already for my gaming PC and the issues have been really, really, really, really frustrating.
Fyi I also have a gaming keyboard (Blackwidow with green switches) so it's loud as goddamn for my friends, and I try to find ways to reduce my typing volume. Because sometimes if my settings are bad (ie gain or output volume) it will earrape everyone.
This is my first one I tried. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BDFP6XC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Everyone said I was REALLY REALLY soft. I boosted WindowsX gain to +20 but that wouldn't work well. It would boost the noise really hard and quality was actually unlistenable. Boosting to max in discord did NOT do enough. I DO NOT know why the hell that happened.
So I got a cheap crap webcam mic. Not exactly what's linked, but basically the same. https://www.mway.company/HD-USB-Webcam,M_Way-HD-720P-Rotatable-PC-Computer-Camera-Video-Calling-and-Recording-with-Noise-canceling-Mic,Clip-on-Style-For-Desktop-Laptop-Network-Skype-p-7.html
Ok so at least people can hear me, but if I start typing hard people sort of get earraped. It's not that bad now, but if I listen to myself I can see how it is really annoying if my settings are off. I have to set my mic below my desk (so my keyboard is above the desk and thus quieter), but what's irritating is that its range of pickup isn't that great. If I lean back real hard I get really soft again on mic.
No one else I know has these many issues. What the heck. Please tell me what I need. Is it my software or drivers? I doubt I'm missing proper audio driver or software. Why is my damned laptop mic even better than these two things I bought for my PC?
I'm sure everyone can see why this is so frustrating with me
