Nvidia Geforce experience recording - Mic background noise/loud buzzing cause and fix?

Hello,

My volume is on max because associates of mine kept complaining I was too quiet when communicating through apps like Skype. The only option available in my sound control panel is 'volume'. I've never had any additional options and I have no idea why as they would probably solve my problem. I have tried to fix this (lack of mic control options) in the past by updating my drivers but this always resulted in my audio devices no longer working. Rolling back my drivers was also not an option so I reinstalled windows 10 on these occasions.

I fear that reducing my volume will only leave me back where I started with my associates struggling to hear me when we speak over the internet.

Contacted the manufacture of my headset and the issue is still not resolved. I installed a driver from this website (one customer support provided): https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/pc-audio-codecs-high-definition-audio-codecs-software

Only for this to make my mic incompatible with windows 10. Troubleshooter could not resolve the problem.

Hello Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello JackB_763 2, I don't think it's any issue in the operating system whether it's Win 10 or 11, however usually sounds like these on PC connections, whether with microphones, headsets, sound tables, or even audio interfaces can suffer some interference depending on the quality of the cable or connection.

You mention that you have the volume at most, depending on this can get in the more way than to help, try to check the sensitivity of the uptake and balance the volume and the sensitivity.

One tip is to watch some videos about audio and voice capture on the Internet, this can help.

Oh right, that was in your original post, apologies for missing that! Do you have an Nvidia GPU? If so, maybe the GeForce Experience might be causing wires to get crossed a little. Within the GeForce Experience, try adjusting the game resolution from there,
or disable the Nvidia GeForce Experience from making any changes from Forza Motorsport 6: Apex entirely.

Keep us posted!

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Gamebar.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please disable background recording because it may be enabled by default, which captures gameplay whenever you're playing. To do this, open Settings in Windows (press Windows + I). Go to Gaming > Captures.

Under Background Recording, toggle Record what happened to Off.

Also ensure Capture audio when recording a game is disabled, if you don’t need it.

And then turn off game bar shortcuts by going to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar. Toggle Open Xbox Game Bar using this button on a controller to Off.

Scroll down to Shortcuts and review/remove any key combinations that might accidentally start recording.

Next is to use NVIDIA GeForce Experience Settings. Since you're using an NVIDIA GPU, check if ShadowPlay/Instant Replay might be recording gameplay instead:

Open NVIDIA GeForce Experience. Click Settings > General.

Disable In-Game Overlay entirely, or specifically turn off Instant Replay in the overlay settings.

Then rest after changes. Kindly play a game to confirm that auto-recording no longer happens.

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, it could be caused by third-party software. Check for any other apps such as Discord that might be capturing gameplay and disable their recording features.

Thank you for your cooperation.
