Mic sounds terrible?

Go to solution Solved by johanneslol11,

Did you try increasing the Quality of your mic  > rightclick audio on the buttom right corner >  open soundsettings >  On the right side  >  configurationscreen sound.  >  click the tab "recording"  >  doubleclick your mic  > advanced >  put your audio quality to max.  

 

bonustip >  You can try increasing the sound quality in the same way.  xD 

I have a razer chroma 7.1 v2. I saw the reviews and the mic sound quality is very good. but when I try to use like a voice recorder,

my voice sounds so blurred out and plain bad. But when I monitor my mic sound in the razer synapse ( means that I can here my voice as I talk), it sounds perfectly fine. anyway to fix this. this headset uses a usb port

Be careful with this.
This is changing both bit-depth and sample rate. And you shouldn't just whack it to the max. You'll make quality worse not better

Audio can be converted to a higher or lower bit-depth without issue, but changing sample rate means it needs to be digitally re-sampled, and that can make audio sound worse.

Ideally, you should choose the highest bit depth your device supports (usually 16 or 24 bit), and then either 44.1khz or 48khz

Almost all music services including lossless ones such as Tidal stream at 44.1khz (excluding master recordings)
And most system sounds are 44.1khz too.

Many games run at 48khz however.

In general, leave your sample rate at 44.1khz

Putting it to 192khz or something won't increase sound quality. It will make it worse because all you are doing is forcing ALL of your audio sources (which will all be 44.1khz or 48khz) to go through re-sampling (and the windows re-sampling really is not great)

the max setting I can get is only 48khz so no problem with that. this is about the microphone btw
