    Well, the whistling sound is getting annoying after a few minutes, but other than that I can understand you just fine. I would still suggest that you get a new mic/headset or fix it otherwise ;)

    There should be a GoFundMe to raise money for everyone who has a bad mic to buy a better one.

    There is a fix you can try.

    On CS:S, go to Options > Voice
    Set both sliders to max and click Test Microphone to test it.

    There is a demonstration towards the end of this thread: https://hellclan.co.uk/threads/39798/

    You can get a desktop mic from Currys for £5. That's one medium size kebab with chips.

    Or you could just clean your mic in real-time.



    I've tried what this guy does (under a different audio host though - FL Studio, not Carla). Carla couldn't draw the ReaPlug VSTs in their full size when I was trying this out (a month ago). Since I couldn't navigate through the plugins and apply settings, I decided to switch to FL.

    (More on the issue I had with Carla):
    https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=18742
    https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/issues/568

    Anyway, with a bit of tweaking and understanding of how audio channels are routed, I managed to set it up. It works pretty well. No complaints apart from the fact that it's a bit tedious to get used to this whole setup.

    A few tips:
    1. You could also noise gate your mic so it outputs signal as long as it goes past a certain dB threshold.
    2. Compress your silky voice gently with a low ratio. This tightens up the dynamics of the signal and makes your voice sound more even.
    3. Equalize your voice by rolling off the super low sub frequencies and boosting the highs a little so it sounds more crystal clear.
    Just felt like throwing this out there for those who might be interested. I'm aware that 99% wouldn't be bothered or have time to go through this configuration process.

    Haha I'll get a proper one eventually, I've had a few £15-20 ones before and honestly I'd rather just get a decent £40-80 one when I have the extra money.
