The Automatic settings basically just measure the gain on the Mic, and if it peaks too high, it'll automatically adjust the volume lower - and vice versa if the volume is too low. Have you tried actually adjusting the settings in Skype itself?Īs you can see, there's a Mic Gain ("Volume") slider for the Mic, and a checkbox for Automatic settings. my pc sounded muddy while my phone was more clear. ![]() I also did listening to tests between my PC and phone on both my headphones and speakers. trying it on a different computer is a bit hard to do since this is my only computer.Īnd yes, its still covered by warranty, though from the recording i mentioned above, it seems to me like a driver malfunctionĮDIT: i listened to recording on my phone, and i can agree that my raw recording was good, but the skype playback sounded more quiet and a bit muddy. I bought the mic on january, so i've had it for roughly half a year. Yeah, it's connected straight into the PCĪlso tried to talk on discord, and there everybody sounded muddy to everyone No, i bought it new, and kept it in good condition, so no liquids nor did it fall on the ground since i got it. Make sure your USB is plugged into your PC and not a hub of any sort. However, when i listen to that video, ALL of it is muddy, both recordings AND the british lady. Then the message replay sounded quiet and muddy, just like they hear me when we're on a call. So i sent the recording to my friends, and they said my first recording (raw recording) was a lot louder and better quality than how they hear me. to remind you all, there's a british lady telling you that they're gonna record your message, and afterwards the message plays back at me. I've recorded my desktop as i was doing the skype mic test, and then sent it to my friends. (it's the same as the 2nd option on the normal snowball i think)ĮDIT: gonna put this here in case new people miss it from the comments: as mentioned, i have the ICE version, so there are no 1-2-3 settings option. I think its very foolish there's no driver software to play around with for the snowball, which is supposed to be an entry level mic. ![]() I thought i would be treating my mates to better audio, but they often struggle to hear me. The only thing i could think of is that the mic might need more juice (an amp).īut if that's the truth - i would be very disappointed. ![]() ![]() I tried the most generic stuff of re-installing drivers, trying difference USB port, making sure it's the default device in windowsĪnd turning up it's sensitivity to 100 under recording device > blue snowball > levels > 100Īll of which you can find with just a minute's search in google.īut since google didn't give me the answer, i thought there might be someone who can help me over here. surprisingly, it made VERY little difference, i don't sound much louder, my voice is just more bassy now (too bassy, sounds muddy) The distance went from ~25cm away to ~10cm away from my mouth. I wanted to go for a bit better mic for my skyping, but the Blue Snowball ICE is just too damn quiet!Īt first, i just rested it on the table with it's tripod, but since it meant my mouth was far from the mic, i got a mic scissor arm to hold it closer to my mouth.
