Hyperx cloud 2 mic problem

[Soul]

Yesterday I bought the Hyperx Cloud 2. I tried it this morning and the sound was perfect and the last thing that I had to try was the mic. Then I joined a B and when I started to speak, people were telling me that my mic was fine but it was muffled. Is it normal ? Someone told me that Hyper x mics are always like that. If you have something pls tell me.

 

Edit : My USB drivers are all up to date

 

Thanks

I don't use the USB dongle, because I ordered jack splitter (from headphones to a green and pink). Not only does the audio sound better, but mic quality is also better.

But if I use a jack splitter, I dont think it would be possible to use the 7.1 surround sound.

the 7.1 fake surround sucks anyway

Honestly I've owned two of these headsets and both broke within a few months. These headsets, IMO, are of terrible quality and I would never recommend that someone else get one. Your best bet is probably to see if you can still return it and get a better headset.

Damn both broke in a few months rip had cloud 2s but took over 2 years to break but maybe change the position of the mic and DON'T USE 7.1 WHEN GAMING WHATSOEVER its ok if your listening to specific music tho

Hmm.. I have to disagree here. I've had my Clouds for 2 years now and they've not let up even after being repeatedly dropped and rolled over by my chair. They've been sturdy as fuck and are still too comfortable for me to switch from them.

 

 

On the other hand, have you made sure that there aren't settings enabled for your mic like noise suppression or echo cancellation? These settings are usually found either in the Sound control panel or audio manager for your headset. @Soul

Did a little digging and seems like it's somewhat normal for the USB dongle. Someone suggested using this https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/ to boost the volume so maybe give that a go if you don't want to opt for a jack splitter.

This is usually an issue with lacking enough power, if you don't have an AMP/DAC and don't plan on getting one, plug your headphones into a USB splitter or the back of your motherboard.

Yeah, I was about to download the APO Equalizer. If it's not working, I will probably buy a jack splitter. Thanks everyone for your advice
