Microphone problem

[JoãoFlôr]

Hey guys. I recently bought the NOX Krush Zero headset by the time I was updating my rig. I had a cheap sound card but with the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 I prefered the on-board audio solution. When I tried out the new headset, I encountered some problems with the microphone. People on skype were hearing the sounds from my pc. Then I changed to another microphone I have but did exactly the same thing. If it´s not the headset, what is causing this problem? Can it be the front audio panel in my case?

Are you using Windows 8?

Are you using Windows 8?

I´m using Windows 8.1 and the audio driver is from realtek.

If the headset is USB it may be the Windows 8/8.1 USB audio codec that is absolutely FUBAR, my $150 standalone mic wont work with my comp because of it.

It´s not USB. I have no idea what to do and can´t find any solution online.

i dont know it might be a problem with windows 8.1 but i think its something with ur onboard sound does it work when u have the soundcard in?

when you mean the sound from your pc, you mean windows sounds ? like when an error pops up they hear the error sound. Sounds to me like a mapping error in the driver.

Have you tested the mic from the OS ?

-right click on the speaker on your task bar

-then recording peripherals

-then configure devices or something like that.

 

if while configuring the devices you hear your windows and not your mic, it is most likely a driver compatibility problem. In that case i would try to get the latest driver from the Gigabyte Website, even a beta driver could fix it at this point.

If it doesn't change anything, I would try to uninstall the driver, and start a windows update search. Sometimes, windows update will look for a different driver that you don't have access on the motherboard website.

Keep in mind that as long as your windows config doesn't work, skype or any other mic capture application will not work. Audio in windows has to go through the Built-In ASIO driver even if you are using Asus, creative or any other soundcard, they are all based on the same ASIO driver. This will only change if you use a third party Audio driver from an professional audio company like Focusrite or Avid which can by-pass the built-in driver if wanetd.

 

If you hear your voice normaly, I would think that skype is the problem. If you have the time, go download Team Speak (http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads) just to test your mic with a different software. I've had countless issues with skype freaking out when my other softwares were working fine.

 

 

Have fun and good luck
