Hi Guys,

i got a problem with my new Asus ROG Z170.
When I'm talking in any Game Teamspeak etc. there is a consistent noise and it's very annoying for everyone. (My old z87 Asus Deluxe didn't had this problem)
Is there a way to fix this?
Hardware Info:
I7-6700k
16GB DDR4 3200 G.SKill Black
Asus Strix Oc GTX 980Ti
Windows 10 all updates installed

Greetings Neo

Hey guys !

Have you installed sonic studio II? There are some settings in there to play with for your microphone.

What kind of noise are you guys getting ? Be a little more specific please. I'm using the Plantronics gamecom 380 with no problems.

Are you using the audio ports at the back of the motherboard or the ones from your case?

I also have much noise on microphone input. Tried different mics with same result. The sonic suite program can filter the noise, but then you sound like a robot instead and people complain on TS. I had to use my old logitech 430 usb adapter as mic input, since ASUS still hasn't fixed this issue. I bought the VIII Hero after I read in reviews that it had the best sound on any motherboard. I guess those reviewers didn't test the mic input. 😕

Did you install latest driver online, please? I would do a search in Windows -> set up microphone
Also, go to Manage Sound -> Recording -> Properties on your microphone -> Levels -> adjust to a nice level (not too high or you will hear static)

Unplug microphone and plug it back in and make sure it is properly connected
Sincerely,
Legolas
