Holy Cow! I spent almost an hour with idiots from H/P and they had no idea how to fix this issue. Your method worked PERFECTLY, and I thank you SO MUCH. I never would have figured this out. Cheers!
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. I got a new laptop and I noticed the sound was recording in such bad quality compared to when I would use my previous laptop. I figured it had to be something within the settings. YOU SAVED ME THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!🤩
OH MY GOD!!!! I bought years ago a 16 dollar mic because i was and am still broke but when i heard the sound quality i was disencouraged to make content to post online because of sound, thinking that it was low quality (which it still is but without the muffling is way better) and just thought that broke people couldn't afford to be decent content creator. this video was a life saver, i totally didn't know that and you just made my day 1000x better since i now know i didn't and i won't have to wast my money in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm not sure why one day my mic just started acting like this while using audacity, but this fixed it immediately! Worked on HP Elitebook 840 G8
WOW! Thank you @00Cubic! I am so grateful for your kind gift. Much appreciated. I am glad it worked in solving the problem. Happy New Year! Cheers to great audio!
Thank you! This has fixed the problem for me. I had to use Linux to record all my videos because they audio recording always appeared clearer there, now I can switch back to Windows. Thanks again!
Thank goodness! My headset was working fine until this morning when my computer decided to do an update. Suddenly, everything through Teams was muffled. Three different headsets and nothing worked right. Hopefully, the settings stick. I don't need professional quality sound or recording, but the nurses at my hospital need to hear me when they call the pharmacy for help.
@@pmpexam So far, they seem to need to be set by headset. The one I used yesterday is fine, but a different one was not. It had to be set up on its own. It is completely over the top annoying. I sometimes miss the old WIN 3.11 for Workgroups days. If you built a batch file in Dos, the dumb thing worked unless your install was corrupted. Granted we used it at home from my freshman year of HS in 93 until we installed NT on my machine in college to keep the other students out of my personal machine. lol Every WIN update recently seems to follow Apple and assume we are all doofuses who can't follow simple instructions. And they hide the settings 5 levels deep.
Thank you I just recently bought a second hand Microponhe and it was working well until recently and I thought it was broken, can't wait to try it after work to see the difference
Literal life saver. I just got a new laptop and tried recording a video on it and it was so muffled. I thought I was going crazy and my mic went bad or a USB port was bad. Thank you.
You are a LIFESAVER!!! Thank you sooo sooo much for this video! I was going absolutely insane wondering why my Blue Yeti all of a sudden sounded like complete trash! Thank you for these instructions!!
IT WORKED OH MY GOD THANK YOU! I was struggling because I noticed when I was recording on audacity on my fifine microphone on a new computer and it was muffled than usual. Thank you this is very helpful
I bought a new mic and your suggestion worked perfectly ! i was worried about my mic quality your video solved everything for me Thank you very much sir
Thank you so much for this video, I got a new computer and was so confused what was screwing up my mic. I spent hours trying to fix it then came across this video. Thank you so much it works wonderful now!
Thank you a lot! I was so desperate because of my bad mic which is so important for my job, teaching online, and since I made the change you showed in the video, my students were like wow did you change your headset or what? Hehe everybody says that the sound is much much better, thank you for this video! :))
I did everything and thought it was fixed and then it was not. My problem is with OBS. This is how I realized there was something wrong, recording through OBS. It keeps coming back to that quality even after all these steps. Usually turning on the option to monitor the audio through OBS forces it to become bad again. I just dont know what else to do.
Oh dear! I am so sorry to hear that. How frustrating! Perhaps try not monitoring through OBS and see what happens? I noticed another issue with this Windows version is a revert to Mono quality instead of staying on Stereo. So many issues. I wish I could assist further. Don't give up!
Sorry to hear that Andy. Windows 11 or 10? Which one is it? The absence of the "Enable audio enhancements" box in your microphone's advanced settings on Windows 11 can have several reasons. Here are some things to check and try: 1. Missing Tab: Check if the "Enhancements" tab itself is missing. Not all audio devices come with built-in enhancements. Look for the tab under both "Speakers" and "Microphone" properties. If the tab is missing altogether, your audio device likely doesn't support specific enhancements. 2. Driver Issue: Outdated or faulty audio drivers can cause missing features. Go to Device Manager, expand Sound, video and game controllers, right-click your audio device, choose Update driver, and search automatically. Alternatively, download and install the latest drivers from your device manufacturer's website. 3. Conflicting Software: Some third-party audio software might disable built-in enhancements. Temporarily disable any non-essential audio software and check if the box appears. I hope you find a fix for this issue.
On my option it would not let me click the selection - although it displayed what you mentioned should be changed it was greyed out and I couldn't change it 😞
Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes updates could affect these things. I'll let you know if I come up with any other brainwaves. You have admin rights on this machine right?
i have the same issue but the enhancment tab is not showing to me man i spent 400$ for mics that sound very bad on my pc compared to what i hear from the others and dont know the proplem
So sorry to hear that. I am not sure why the tab is missing. Perhaps this link could offer some insights: www.makeuseof.com/enhancement-tab-missing-windows-11/

Man THANKS YOU I spend hours trying to fix it!!
YESSSS!!! It worked!! Thank you so much

unfortunately i dont seem to have the CD quality setting, pain
That should not stop the correction process. The real issue is the enhancement selection variable. If you can turn that off, you are golden.
