A year ago I ran the driver booster software and updated a bunch of drivers including some sound related drivers. I don't remember specifically which ones because I never really take note of what gets updated, I just update the drivers when they need it. As soon as I updated the drivers my mic became significantly worse. By that I don't mean quality wise, but worse in its ability to consistently pick up sound.
When I would talk, any time I would lower my voice such as how I would naturally at the end of a sentence, it would cut out. This made it so that any time I spoke somewhat quietly no one could hear me, or it would cut in and out so that my message was barely understandable. No matter what I changed in discord voice settings, the problem persisted.
Even though it seemed incredibly obvious that it was a software problem, I held out hope that it could just be a problem with the mic on my hyper X cloud headset. Not too many months ago I got a new hyper X headset and the problem was the exact same. Gaming headset microphones are known to not be the absolute best, but it persisted across even nicer microphones as well. I very recently bought a Blue Yeti X to finally get a standalone microphone with good quality, and it still is having a very similar issue. While the quality of my transmitted voice is very high, the volume struggles and even with incredibly high microphone gain, I am easily drowned out in a discord call when someone else is talking at the same time.
I'm not sure exactly how to fix this problem and I would seriously appreciate if anyone has any ideas as to how I could fix this issue.
