AN515-54-70KK Makes mic muffle under heavy load

reDemon

Hello! I have been using the same mic for a very long time, and I have never had any problems. When I switched to my Acer Nitro 5, the mic started having issues. It seems that whenever I am playing a game that is heavy on the computer, my mic will start to muffle and make me sound like I am super far away, in a fish tank. I am not sure why this happens, and I have confirmed it isn't the Mic, nor the settings for what mic I use. When this happens, the only way to get around it is to talk very loudly or right against the mic. Any helps would be appreciated. 
Also, if the solution is to reinstall the realtek drivers, please give a brief explanation on how to do that so I don't mess it up. Thanks!

Also this is a repost since the last time, I forgot to include the model, and I don't know how to edit. (just figured out how to edit)

This seems like a bad case of hardware shielding where the graphics card is causing interference in the audio interface. Try an external USB soundcard to see if it solves the issue.

I will have to go and buy one, but I will try that. Thanks for responding! Do you have any suggestions for which one to buy?
