Microphone settings

so i have this problem that my background noises are way louder than me, so much that it looks like that the mic is next to e.g. the keyboard and i sound like far away, is there some way to adjust that, or some settings i need to change or anything?

headset is a steelseries siberia v2

There you go, i had the same problem. Got a new soundcard, problem solved.

So you have a seperate soundcard which plugs into a PCI slot? Something like this:

Just plug your headset and mic into the slots of your onboard (probably realtek) soundcard. Problem solved.

You probably won't even notice a lot of difference since the soundcard you have is pretty cheap.

I think the problem ( if uve got the usb siberia soundcard ) concerns the usb soundcard. It needs a working soundcard in your pc
Parent
i do, but the mic slot is broken :D
