I've spent over three days on this problem and I'm pulling my hair out. My computer came preloaded with Realtek HD Audio Manager, which I suspect is the culprit based on everything I've researched about this issue.
Things I've tried:
If there's anything I haven't done yet, please let me know.
Things I've tried:
- The mic is not muted and the volume levels are maximized
- I can "boost" the mic until it can be picked up better but this degrades the quality significantly
- I've tried multiple (new) headsets and the problem doesn't change
- The microphone is set as the default recording device
- I've disabled every other audio device that I don't use; only my microphone, headset speakers, and main speakers are enabled
- The microphone input is in the correct jack on the back panel (I've heard there are problems with the front panel)
- I installed the most recent drivers from Realtek and through MSI's Live Updater (current Realtek audio driver version: 6.0.1.7293)
- I've done recordings on multiple programs and the problem doesn't change
- I've tweaked every option I have access to on the Realtek Audio Manager (noise cancellation, separating each input jack independently, and echo cancellation)
- I've tried uninstalling Realtek and using standard drivers, and the problem doesn't change
If there's anything I haven't done yet, please let me know.
