The other day I was on a zoom call. But when I made a comment the other participants started laughing. When one of them was finally able to catch her breath she told me “you sound like a chipmunk” . Obviously a sound setting problem.
What caused it? I suspect that perhaps a windows update reset my sound settings, but I don’t really know.
I had a similar problem some time ago when I was trying to setup a non-Microsoft microphone on my pc, so I thought that would be a good place to start.
So, if you’re on windows 10, here follows the procedure to fix the sound problem.
Go to settings>system>sound (click your start menu, settings is the gear icon)
- Under input select device properties>additional device properties
- Choose (FM Radio Quality) as shown.
- Hit ok.
- Test the microphone.
- If it doesn’t work, try other Default Format Settings.
On my system, windows gives 3 different options for the “Default Format”. The FM Radio Quality was the one that worked for me.
Hope this helped.
If you found this helpful or something is unclear, let me know in the comments.
