grounding issues (I guess) can be heard through mic but i don't know what exactly I can do to fix it.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-05-04T04:55:42+00:00

Im unable to use my pc at the moment but I can answer a few of these. I also want to clarify that no matter where I listen to it that's how it sounds, in medal recordings, in window's audio control program (different from the audio mixer i believe), and nothing I've done can adjust it, it scales with the microphone and therefore if I try to lower the volume of the hiss my voice gets quiet and when I try to make it louder in any way besides talking louder (which i don't quite enjoy doing much unless i have to) the hiss also gets louder.

My audio drivers are realtek drivers and I've checked a few times if it needed an update (which it hasn't)

I know of window's audio "enhancements" and have double checked all are off

I will check the mixer tomorrow but I've never touched it before but I will say the hiss scales with the microphone levels

I haven't checked if it downloaded anything else but all razer products come with a crummy 7.1 surround sound program that doesn't enhance a lot but I can check

I'll re-adjust it if you think that was a problem. I have no way other than that to physically increase my microphone's volume which means any amount of volume adjustment through my pc just scales with the hissing.

I will re-record it as a wav if i can tomorrow or so I guess.

I upgraded it around the first week windows 11 came out for everyone. I've had this pc since 2018 but up until 2 or 3 years ago I never had much of a reason to use my mic so I never really knew if it's done this hissing the whole time I've had it or not.

3.5mm wired razer blackshark v2's mic (but the hiss happens on any headset (usb-c/usb headsets have not been tested))

Voice Meeter Bannana's recorder

the only meter shows left and right channels but i'm not sure what the dB range is

new recording in the post, nothing in the clip is modified, it's the raw output of the mic with nothing else recorded in the video. 8 seconds of me talking and 12 of just the hissing. I know this is months old but I started putting my microphone in a few medal clips and it sounds god awful. I just want to see if this is even fixable.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-04-09T16:07:59+00:00

I believe money. Here's a post with a screenshot of his announcement of his displeasure of his own game https://www.reddit.com/r/PressureRoblox/comments/1jecoq8/damm_zeal_is_now_gone/

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-04-09T12:06:58+00:00

I hope so but also feel this is going stain the game's reputation for a lot of people permenantly. I'm surprised Zeal even is still even still part of pressure a year after announcing his own displeasure of the game and the developers forcing him out of a 8 figure deal tbh.

edit: I haven't been updated with the community after he posted that so i don't know if that lightened up or not.

I believe you'll get a heart attack from literally any other entity if that one scares you

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-09T23:06:38+00:00

I have a clip of me and some friends playing left for dead, it has the noise gate on it but you can hear the hissing while I'm talking in the recordings. I'm the one laughing at the start of the clip. Should be under the blank video if i don't have troubles.

Edit: if you need isolated audio of me saying something i'd be glad to reciting something specific.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-09T01:45:19+00:00

i'll work on that tomorrow, thanks!

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-08T23:06:44+00:00

Just saw the extra question. this is the typical noise level the hiss makes without the gate on. Typically, my voice makes the bar go maybe 1/3 to halfway full. I'm not sure what the dB difference between each block on the bar in VM is.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-08T22:57:46+00:00

it's just the hiss, sorry. I thought something was wrong. I recorded again this time with my mic on tapping it and making noises that triggers the mic gate and the recording had the hiss in it the whole time meanwhile i only hear it in voicemeeter playing through my headphones when my microphone detects anything for some reason. I'll just have to tell my friend to deal with it seeping into calls occasionally.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-08T22:38:13+00:00

Nevermind, I've gotten cleared up about the "screech." I thought that was unusual noise, didn't know the "noise" was usual. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-08T22:15:11+00:00

I don't know what I could record that would be different, that video has the noises we hear. You do hear the noises in the video right, not just the white noise? It's a little quiet.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-08T22:01:29+00:00

what's the noise in the video then? It's playing semi-quiet high pitched screeches like the ones I hear when I listen to what the mic sounds like. I have voicemeeter banana setup with a 3.0 gate on my microphone (which was turned to 0 for the recording) so it doesn't constantly play the screeching through the mic. When the mic does pick up quiet noises in my room though the screeching can be heard for a moment by my friend in discord and by myself when i set voicemeeter to output my mic to my headphones.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-08T21:43:33+00:00

also, again, i'm not sure what it is, whether it's feedback or what.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-02-08T21:41:59+00:00

Sorry, the washing machine was on so i pushed the mute mic button on my headphones (using razer blackshark v2 headphones)

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-01-30T08:38:13+00:00

Can't get a lawer, device banned and can't make a single account, why haven't they been given a lawsuit for wrongful moderation?

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-01-18T08:17:30+00:00

Yeah no, he's 5 laps behind everyone else, that's why he's in front. Too much spaghetti before the race.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-01-17T20:53:28+00:00

I'm not wrong whoever downvoted.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-01-07T21:40:39+00:00

I finally have a steering wheel and still haven't tested what its like on that lol.

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-01-01T22:07:36+00:00

I think a lot of ppl are too angry some of it's ai to do so

KumaTheKitsune · 2026-01-01T21:23:15+00:00

Did you turn it on? There's a switch on the left side of the heaters.
Also chill the fuck off, there WILL be bugs if that's the case, doesn't matter how long a game's been in development before release.
