My mic randomly got very quiet and very static
So all of a sudden my microphone got very quiet, I'll try to give as much detail as possible. So I believe it started when one morning I turned on my pc and the software I use for my mic seemed like it stopped working. So I uninstalled it completely along with it's drivers. So I believe it started before I deleted it but maybe it started after I can't exactly remember. I have tried updating/reinstalling all my sound drivers. I have contacted microsoft support twice and they couldn't fix it. They also gave me some sort of file that reinstalls windows but keeps my files, and that also didn't work. I am completely stumped and just reinstalled windows deleting all my files around a month ago so I would really like not to reinstall again. Also I tried my mic on another computer and it's totally fine. I tried different USB ports in my computer and it also didn't help. I also tried another microphone on the pc with issues and it's a bad mic so I can't quite tell if it's also static or just very bad. So that's everything and I'm stumped, I'm hoping there is a fix for this because I'm scared that worst comes to worst I re install windows again and the problem doesn't resolve.
Thanks in advance,
Liam

Little_Joe Just installed the drivers, it instantly improved the quality prior to me even having this issue and it totally fixed the issue itself, honestly don't know why I didn't think of this myself, but I really do appreciate the help. Thank you

Little_Joe I am not sure how to do this, I searched for eom drivers and they are all different, eomdrivers.com says "No malware, just drivers" which is very weird
Update: found out that's the abbreviation, not the drivers name, I'll try installing them right now.
