Having acquired a new and supposedly good microphone (ModMic), I noticed that I'm still hearing a lot of noise in the recording - about as bad as with my old cheap microphone. I now think the reason is the quality of the sound card (it's the on-board sound card on Asus Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard). For the record, I hear very similar results from both microphone ports (front and rear). My microphone boost setting is at zero and the gain is at 100%, but I also tried different settings with similar results.
I tried to use two noise suppression tools:
- The "Noise suppression" checkbox in Microphone Properties -> VoizReal Exp tab. This helps, but some background noise remains and it seems the voice is clipped.
- The "Noise suppression" filter in OBS Studio. This works much better. No noise remains, and the voice quality is comparatively good.
The question is is it possible to apply a filter like (2) system-wide and not just in OBS Studio.
