SB Audigy2 ZS PCI+Logitech Headset= Voice sounds like its under water

I tried using my Logitech Headset this evening on my desktop to communicate with my buds over mumble while playing BF3 and no matter how many settings I messed around with in both Win7 x64 or the mumble software my voice was crackled and distorted. Now I know for a fact my headset is not the problem, since I use it daily on my laptop at work to talk to people over Skype & GoToMeeting and I'm crystal clear and I even plugged it back into my lappy afterwards and listened to myself speak, and it was fine. The problem must be with the Sound Card. Is this something to do with the settings or is this a sign my card/drivers are bad?

Hi,
Disconnect your headset and just plug in a microphone and do a microphone recording. Playback what you have recorded, do you sound like you are underwater? That will narrow down if it's the sound card that's causing the problem. Also try running other games to see if same problem is happening.

    I would have your carrier check out the iPhone. But I have had this issue with other cell phones and beleive it to be related to how good of a connection your have to the cell tower.

  • My phone sounds like its breaking up when I call. Then when the other person answers all I hear is my voice echoing and all they hear is static

    My phone sounds like its breaking up when I call.
    Then when the other person answers all I hear is my voice echoing and all they hear is static
    Same happens when they call me.
    Data over the phone - to Vodaphone - is fine. I can browse. With or without wifi.
    My speaker and mic work fine.

    I think the fault just developed out of the blue. I called somebody left the phone on the table downstairs the person tried to call me back 11 times and I never heard them. When I tried to call later in the day the phone had an error.
    When try to phone my iPhone from the land line the ring tone is perfect but I get the same problem with my iphone just echoing my voice and nothing else - and the landline having loud static and nothing else.

    Hi,
    I have the same issue on my HP Win8 desktop.My voice is disguised as chipmunk to the other party. I can hear everybody fine. I followed the exact instruction and  tried search for the folder named "Skype" through writing %appdata% in the Search /Run box as I've read in the previous post, but it did not find a such folder. I don't have a problem using Skype on my laptop supported by Win 7. Anybody out there knows how to fix this? I reinstalled Skype and still the same.
    What is the version of Skype program installed on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.

  • My voice sounds like helium

    Hi, everyone. To compensate for my Mac microphone troubles, I hooked up my mic to a wheezing Linux laptop and recorded a WAV of my voice. I imported it to Garage Band, but when I played the track my voice sounded as if I had just inhaled a large quantity of helium. Evidently, while trying to get my microphone to work a few nights ago, I modified some setting which caused this, without knowing I'd done it.
    Any ideas as to how I might be able to fix this?

    I don't have an answer for your question but I just had to tell you the title made me laugh for an hour. Usually it's me saying my voice sounds like something other than helium! I want you to know, you made my day. Music is awesome!

  • Voice sounds like chipmunks when I use my headphones, how can I fix that?

    I have a MacBook Air and a Cinema display. Sound is fine but When I use my headphones for chat (YM), our voices sound like chipmunks. How can I fix this? I appreciate any help.

    It is plugged-in. I tried it with several headphones and it still the same chipmunk voice. I even used my wireless headphones but no luck.

  • Since I updated my iPad to iOS 6.0, it makes a shutter sound ( like its taking pictures) every time I close the cover, or even when I put it down. Any idea on how to stop this? Thanks!

  • Audio export sounds like its in a tin cup

    I have exported my project multiple times with different settings but each results in sounding like its in a tin cup, or sounds like its from  a cheap cell phone.  I imported the audio into audition and exported it to my desktop and it sounded fine but if I use premire it ruins the audio.  It just started doing this in the past few days and I haven't changed anything that I am aware of. Please any help would be great as this is for my employment!

    The audio like you mentioned "sounds like it's from a cheap cell phone" only happens when you cut out the top end and low end frequencies, which clearly looks like a work of an EQ (or any other similar) plugin. Are you sure you heard the exported audio on your desktop and it sounded normal? If yes, then make sure the audio track in premiere doesn't have any effects on it. Also make sure your audio jack's inserted properly. Also listen to something else and see how that sounds just to make sure your speakers/headphones didn't snap.

  • Distorted Audio -- not clipped or in the red but sounds like its both

    I have a audio-distorted interview that sounds like its in the red-- but its not and is clean of clipping -- what could be the problem?

    One more question-- if I have interviews where the audio peaks above 12 and are also too low to hear in the same clip-- how can I mediate that? Is there an effect that normalizes both without going through with the pen tool and bringing up lows/bringing down highs?
    Mmm...some clarity's required here.  When you say 'peaks above 12' are you talking about peaks during playback above -12 dB on the Audition meter?  If so, there's nothing wrong with that - that's pretty normal.  When you say 'too low to hear in the same clip' are you talking about too low to hear it when it's being recorded, or too low to hear afterward when you play it back?  If it's peaking at -12 dBFS, you should be able to hear it completely clearly.

  • Volume dipping in and out and sounds like its underwater when plugging my guitar amp in through iRig??

    I've just got my first mac that I'm just getting used to, but I've been using garageband on my iPhone for about a year with no problems. I've tried recording my guitar on the mac using my iRig which is what I've been using before, and the sound is awful! The volume keeps going up and down and it sounds like its underwater, whereas it was clear as day on my phone. I've tried turning the compressor off and fiddling with different things but nothings working. I'd really appreciate the help if anybody knows what to do. Thanks

    Oh, one other spot you might check for level control,
    in the Track Info window there is a "volume" control.
    This may or may not be enabled ... I kinda' think
    for the Mac's Line-In it is enabled
    Yes, it is enabled and directly linked to the input volume control in System Prefs. If you have both windows open, you can watch the slider in prefs move as you change the volume in Track Info.
    BTW, increasing the various gain controls on my amp does alter the input volume. The change isn't huge, but it is noticeable.
    thanks again.

  • My macbook 15 inch wont turn on, it makes the hard drive sound and then a few seconds later it sounds like its powering down with like a clicking noise

    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If neither helped, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utillity. The startup disk may need repairing.
    Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.

  • Make stereo voice sound like analog from 70's movies

    Hi, I have a voice over that is recorded in a high quality, normal voice and I would like to make it sound like a voice from 70's movies. Sort of gritty, analog sound. What should I tweak in Soundtrack Pro?
    Here are the examples of the sound I'd like to achieve:

    Many thanks

    If I only had stock STP effects to use, I would attempt this with a combination of EQ, Compression/Limiting, and a tiny bit of Overdrive or distortion.
    Use the EQ to roll off the high frequencies a bit, experiment with compression to get the right punch, and very subtle Overdrive to try to imitate the tape grit.
    Have fun!
