Posted September 4, 2014 I've had this mic for about 1-2 months. we switched from Skype to Teamspeak and my friends always complain that i sound like shit because the microphone boosts then volume to extreme levels, and we did test it. i sounded fucking horrible. there was a lot of static and basically it was so loud and bad ,that i kept cutting out. is this a problem with team speak or the mic? i'm using the USB version of the Mic, my microphone boost has not been activated at all. i've messed around with teamSpeak quite a bit but nothing changes. i cant turn my self down too much because then people wont be able to hear me can anyone help me to fix this problem? any settings i should change? any softwares u recommend?

Posted September 4, 2014 See if changing setting in windows helps. bottom right on the speaker icon, right click it. Next go to recording devices > "Your recording device here" > properties. I cant remember what tabs will be there just see if can mess around with those to make it work. EDIT: I wouldn't recommend downloading any additional software to "fix" it. Spoiler Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's 1TB Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0) If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.

TeamSpeak options has an advanced section under capture. one option was "Automatic Voice Gain". and it was On. that might have been it but fuck my life why does team speak leave that ticked as default. fucking assholes Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/209486-at2020-usb-boost-problem/#findComment-2843035 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It causes them to pick up background noise much easier, but allows for more detailed voice overs.
