Question about mic Jack

So I just ordered a HyperX Cloud Stinger and got it today, and I ran a test in Audacity to check out the mic quality, and it did just fine as far as picking up my voice, however, it seems to have a decent amount of background "static" sound. I know this isn't how it is supposed to sound because I watched multiple reviews of this headset and I didn't hear even a trace of what I am hearing in their videos. Is there any way to remove this static? If you know how to make this work better that would be great. Also here is the mic test that I was using to compare my results with. Skip to 5:00 for the Mic test.

  • CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 6-Core Processor OC @ 5.0ghz

Nope, the text is certainly there but it's just in a dark font which blends in with the background. Try setting it to the default.

 

Oh my fault, ok I'll fix that
