Clipping onto the cord doesn't get as good a voice signal as it being directly below or beside your mouth.

If I were to speak into the Zalman directly there's no windscreen of any kind, which is mitigated by clipping it onto the cord of your headphones or your clothing which is how it was designed. If my hands are busy holding a controller or mouse & keyboard there's no way I can get the Zalman clip on mic as close to my mouth as a headset boom. Here's what I don't understand about the good headphones + separate mic is better than a headset argument. Monoprice 108323 Premium Hi-Fi DJ Style + Zalman Zm-Mic1 vs Turtle Beach x12 I followed through trying a good pair of headphones + a separate microphone. the problem is that when others speak and or there are sounds around my external speakers are feeding into my headset and keying my mic in open comms. Also, others in discord are speaking to me and they are keying my mic when I am open voice comms. so I hit that tape with my hand today and in the headset, I hear it the tape making a crackling sound. I have my speaks with a bit of tape on them next to the monitor. so I see this post and I go into Realtek and change the setting to 'Separate all input Jacks. using the Morph Vox driver I am getting very low volume levels and the Morph Vox sounds scratchy. got the old disc out and loaded the old driver got speakers back. I tried installing the new audio driver and bam. I use Morph Vox pro for gaming and could not get it to work right as it uses a separate driver then the normally audio driver for my Realtek. Any is appreciated.įirst, thank you for this post it helped as I have had tons of mic issues ever since I changed my mic using Windows 7. I have combed tons of forums and even found another thread with the same issue, but it was outdated from 2 years ago and no fixes for Windows 7. It's not because my sound is on max either, if I have the sound at 20% they hear it at the exact same level on top of listening to me talk. They say it sounds like I'm not even using a headset at all and people tell me to turn off my speakers and put on my headset all the time when this isn't the case! So I'm guessing it's a Windows 7 thing but I have combed every option and I just don't know what to do. This was not happening on my old computer with the same headset.

For example when I'm playing any game or listening to music and talking to someone, they can hear everything that is happening with crystal clearness. The problem I am having is this: when talking to someone in Skype, my microphone is somehow picking up any output audio that my headset is receiving. Not using a sound card either, just using an integrated one. The one I have now is Windows 7 64 bit home premium. I just recently bought a new computer and I did not have the same issue on the old computer (which was XP). I have a problem that I hope can be fixed.
