Loud gaming headphone microphones can be caused by a variety of reasons, the following are some common solutions:Hardware problems and solutions• Check connectionsProblem performance: Poor connection between the headset and the device, such as the plug is not fully inserted into the interface, may lead to unstable contact, resulting in noise.o Solution: Re-plug the headset and ensure that it is tightly connected to the interface of the computer, game console and other devices. If it is a headset with a detachable microphone, check that the connection between the microphone and the body of the headset is stable.• Clean parts① Problem performance: The accumulation of dust and debris on the surface of the microphone or the mesh cover may interfere with the normal pickup of sound and produce noise.② Solution: Use a clean, soft brush or cotton swab to gently remove dust from the microphone surface and mesh cover. If the stain is stubborn, you can dip a small amount of alcohol to wipe, but be careful to avoid alcohol entering the microphone.• Check for interference from surrounding electronic devices① Problem performance: Nearby wireless equipment, electrical appliances, etc., may produce electromagnetic interference, affecting the signal transmission of the microphone, resulting in noise.② Solution: Keep headphones away from devices that may interfere, such as mobile phones, wireless routers, and microwave ovens. If you are using wireless headphones, try switching to a different wireless channel or frequency band to see if you can reduce the noise.• Detect hardware faults of the headset① Problem performance: the microphone or circuit of the headset fails, such as microphone diaphragm damage, line short circuit, etc., which will also cause loud noise.② Solution: Connect the headset to another device for testing, if the same noise problem exists on other devices, it is likely that the headset itself is faulty. It is recommended to contact the customer service or professional maintenance personnel of the headset manufacturer for maintenance.Software problems and solutions• Update the driver ① Problem performance: Outdated or incompatible drivers may cause the microphone to work abnormally and produce noise. ②Workaround: Visit the headphone manufacturer's official website, download and install the latest headphone driver. For Windows systems, you can also find the headset device in the Device Manager, right-click and select "Update Driver" for automatic update.• Adjust audio Settings① Problem performance: The microphone's volume, gain and other Settings are unreasonable, which may make the noise amplified.② Solution: In the audio setting of the device, appropriately reduce the volume and gain of the microphone, generally set the microphone volume at about 50%-70%, and the gain set between 0-10dB is more appropriate. At the same time, turn off unnecessary audio effects, such as echo cancellation, noise reduction, etc., because some effects may not be compatible with the headset's microphone, but instead create noise.Environmental problems and solutions• Reduce background noise① Problem performance: The ambient noise is large, such as the sound of TV, the sound of others talking, the sound of fans running, etc., will be picked up by the microphone, resulting in loud noise.② Solution: Try to use the headset microphone in a quiet environment. If you can't avoid it, you can use headphones with noise cancellation functions, or take some soundproofing measures, such as closing doors and Windows, using soundproofing curtains, etc.• Avoid wind noise① Symptom: If the microphone is exposed to the air outlet, wind blowing through the microphone will produce wind noise.② Solution: Adjust the position of the microphone to avoid directly facing the tuyere. If used outdoors, you can consider installing a wind shield for the microphone to effectively reduce wind noise.
