What to do if the microphone is phoning

If you are professionally associated with the use of sound equipment or you have a home theater with karaoke at home, you must have encountered a problem in the operation of this equipment.

The main problem in the microphone is the appearance of additional noise, which interfere with proper operation and make the sound quality much worse.

In our article, we will try why there is noise in the microphone or headphones. And having established the causes of the defect, we will show you how to fix it.

Causes of Microphone Noise

The causes of noise during microphone operation can be caused by the following.

• Use when connecting a cable without a special winding creates the wrong frequency. In this case, the absence of an amplifier at the input will not create the proper voltage and frequency. This will result in noise from the electrical appliance.
• Mechanical damage to the wire or microphone housing.
• Location near phone. This can be especially pronounced with incoming calls due to the intersection of the electrical signal with the microphone signal.
• The reason may be hiding in incorrect system and software settings. In general, any technique uses a certain voltage, current strength and frequency range to function. For normal operation, you should adhere to certain parameters. Even slight fluctuations can cause problems.

TIP. Listen to the nature of the noise. It can be of different frequencies, this indicates various problems.

Troubleshooting Methods

If a noise source is installed, you can begin troubleshooting. It is logical that all manipulations will be performed according to the type of malfunction. The simplest solutions often do not imply repair of the microphone, but the elimination of external factors.

• Keep phones and other equipment away from equipment.
• Try not to swing the microphone again and do not make sudden movements.
• Check cable connection and type. Replace it with a shielded version if necessary.
• Remove external defects or replace housing parts with new ones.

However, if the reason lies in the system settings, then you should use a different algorithm. In this case, you will have to make the correct setup and adjustment of the work.

Sound setting

If there is no result from all the above actions, refer to the program settings. It often happens that the reason lies precisely in the correct connection and regulation.
Like any equipment, sound equipment has its own special programs, with the help of which their communication with other devices and system elements is ensured.

therefore the first thing to do is go to the sound settings menu. In modern models, the developers provided for the possibility of problems and brought the settings to a new level.

The system now provides the user with automatic diagnostics and troubleshooting. To do this, do everything according to plan.

Algorithm

• In the lower right corner of the screen in the notification panel, click on the speaker icon.
• From a number of proposed functions, you should select the item for detecting problems with sound.
• After that, the technician will diagnose and do everything for you.
• In most cases, this is enough to give the sound clarity and good quality.

Level adjustment

Another possible way to improve quality is to adjust the levels. To do this, enter the computer.

• Find the sound section, and then go into it in any of the possible ways.
• After that, in the window that opens, click on the record section.
• From the proposed list, select a microphone with a malfunction. As a rule, it is highlighted with a green icon. Double click on it with the right mouse button.
• In the top line, select the Levels item and completely lower the lower adjustment bar to the leftmost position.

IMPORTANT. The use of the gain function in addition to clear sound leads to the appearance of an extra background. If necessary, it is enough to set the gain to 10 dB, which is quite enough for good sound without interference.

Driver Verification

Ensuring the normal operation of any device connected to the computer is achieved thanks to the presence of drivers. This is a kind of program, reading which the technique understands which algorithm it should execute. This ensures consistent operation of all systems.
When connecting a microphone, they usually use Realtek.

The best solution is to uninstall and reinstall the driver. After that, go to the system menu and in the window that opens, find the very important option for suppressing noise and echo.

If after execution the result has not improved, you can again check for gain in the sound menu.
