Hey everyone! I'm having a weird issue where all of my microphones have stopped working properly out of nowhere. I tried troubleshooting on my own, but nothing seems to help. My friend mentioned my mic was sounding bad, so I switched to another one, but they all sound muffled and barely pick up my voice even when I'm speaking loudly. Just last week, whispering while gaming was clear as day. I recorded myself using Audacity with three different mics, and here's what I got: [link to recordings]. The first and third are from my Arctis 7+, and the middle one is a Maono Mic. I can't believe they'd all go bad at the same time! I've checked and updated my drivers, and I'm running Windows 11 without issues for over a year. Can anyone help?

Just to be thorough, are you absolutely sure you’re not accidentally using your computer's integrated mic? Sometimes it's easy to overlook! I’d recommend checking your audio settings carefully.
It sounds like the issue is likely with your computer rather than all the mics failing at once. Sometimes, Windows updates mess with audio drivers. First, go into your sound settings and turn off any audio enhancements that might be active. Also, check if you have any audio software like Realtek or Dolby installed – they could be filtering your sound. Make sure those settings are adjusted, too!
Have you considered re-pairing your Bluetooth devices? If your Arctis 7+ connects via a dongle and your other mic is USB, they both might be facing the same issue. Plus, since your PC doesn’t have an integrated Bluetooth adapter, it might not be the problem but worth checking.
