Mic Distortion when using on EDGE and Chrome. All desktop apps works fine!

Question

Hi,

I recently bought a USB Microphone for my desktop. It's working fine when using a Windows voice recorder and OBS. But when i tried to use it on Edge or Chrome there was distortion when i spoke and the audio quality was not good compared the what i got in Windows Voice recoders/OBS. Cannot figure out if the problem is with my mic or the software Any help to fix this will be very much appreciated.

Hi,

Kayece here, An Independent advisor and a user just like you. I will be happy to assist you today.

I understand that you have a problem with your microphone when using Web browsers. Can you try to check the volume mixer and change the Input device to your desired microphone?

Right-click on the volume icon on the taskbar and choose Open volume mixer. Scroll down and change the microphone that each application uses like Chrome and Edge (Make sure that they are open). Click the arrow on the right. Next to the Input device, click and select the desired microphone. The changes will apply immediately.

If the issue persists, change the default format of your microphone.

Press Win + I> System> Sounds> Click the microphone you want to configure in the list. On Format, change it to the highest and see if it microphone is fixed in the browser, or change the format is much better for your microphone.

I hope this is helpful. If you have any additional questions or need more help, please let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Stay Safe!
