Hello,

Not sure what you have already tried.. sorry if this might be a repeat.

Hold down Windows + R keys, type in mmsys.cpl and press enter.

Then go to the Recording tab. Do you see Stereo Mix listed? If so, right click, disable it.

Try and see if that improves. If not, tell me - what type of mic are you using? Built-in mic? Or headset mic via 3mm port, or bluetooth?
