Why does my mic has this noise on the PC? (pomf2.lain.la)

This is just a cheap earphone with a mic (wired, not wireless), but it works ok without any noise on my phone, while using it on PC has this noise. It sounds like an electrical interference? Any ideas how to solve this, as OS mic options don't seem to make a difference?

Don't take me too serious but I'd try to find the microphone settings and maybe disable de amplification. If you want the amplification maybe that's normal to hear?

But you can also see if the cable is run in parallel with something else. I mean, tied to other cables or very close together and see if separating them helps. If not the noise is probably internal.

First thanks for the support

So I disabled "Microphone Boost" and decreased "Microphone" (https://pomf2.lain.la/f/9pck4z24.png), but it still has the noise https://pomf2.lain.la/f/0ntivrz1.m4a

By using these setting it only decreased the volume of it but my voice is decreased as well, so it kinda is the same result.

There is no cable close to the mic/earphone cable as it is plugged into the front of my PC. So this is probably internal? And what do you mean by internal? Something on my PC?

[–] kubica@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

Yes by internal I was thinking of something from the motherboard.

In the screenshot the volume of the microphone is at 50%, if you put it higher maybe you don't need the boost.

Anyway, maybe someone else has better suggestions.
