To explain what exactly mine does : for almost 3 days now Literally EVERY single time I attempt to use the Mic, I get 1 of 2 replys from either a friend or someone : 1: Your mic is ♥♥♥♥ty / bad or whats wrong with your mic or the most freuqent one... You sound like a robot ! ... LOL WTF haha I was playing a whole match entertaining people because they wanted me to say stupid funny ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ only because my mic was distorted to a level in which i sounded like a Transformer/Autobot ! lol anyways ♥♥♥♥ this problem! im over trying to figure ♥♥♥♥ out and over wanting to use my mic but forget every ♥♥♥♥ing time someone is going to talk ♥♥♥♥ ... ♥♥♥♥ lol THE END ( synopsis: my mic works perfectly fine everywhere else BUT when im in - game in CSGO. It sounds as if my mic is conected thru wifi and my signal is super laggy or ♥♥♥♥ty ... )

Same here, i tried using a normal mic and it seems to work a bit better

The first bit of troubleshooting I would suggest is to rule out the mic.

Open Quicktime. Right click on the Dock icon and select New Audio Recording. After selecting your mic, record a short audio sample, save it, and then reply it to see if the mic is distorted.

If it sounds normal, the problem is not with your mic, and may be with the way CS:GO works (I expect this to be the case because you said Garry's Mod works fine, but it never hurts to double-check)

If your mic is bad, the next person to talk to will work at your local Apple Store.

Why Steve Jobs, why ):

Actually it appears to just be people who either don't know how to (or refuse to) troubleshoot. I've seen mac users who aren't affected by this, and I've seen PC users with similar audio problems. What I haven't seen is anyone who is affected by this make even the slightest effort to share what their setup is, what mic they're using, or specifically what is affected.

It's like people are being vague on purpose here just to avoid the posibility that someone might be able to help.
