Mic is Making Really Strange Noises on TS & In Game

[FergusW]

Hello all...... again.
I have been having an issue with my headset that only started this morning. I first had a Mic that didn't work (got fixed afterwards), now when I set a PTT it either goes fine and then makes wierd noises or just makes wierd noises. It is really annoying for me and for others and help would be nice ASAP! . It makes a noise like you are recording and it is a really windy day or you have dropped your phone onto your bed while recording it.

I have tried many things: Restarting PC, plugging headset in different drivers, doing many voice tests on teamspeak. I have had around 3-4 people in game saying 'I need to get my voice checked out'. In non RP language that is 'Get your mic fixed!'
Here is my headset:

I wonder how many more Q&A's I will have to make after this one. I think I am on 3 at the moment ;(

Is it like a static "ssssss" sound? In that case, I would advise you to check that you dont have the microphone level boosted (In either headset software or Windows). Boosting the levels raises the sound it captures with a set amount of db, and boosting it too high will often give it a static noise in the background. Also, if there is a software with the headset, check if there is any 'presets' you can change. On my AstroA40TR there is 4 different presets, and the only one that works good for me is the 'stream' preset, which does not have any noisecancelling filters or boosts the levels. Just have a look around in the settings! If this is not the cause, I would advice you to troubleshoot it with the manufacturer/seller and work it out with them, might aswell be a problem with the headset itself.

Not really, it is a thump noise kind of. I have got in contact with the company, just waiting for a response.
