Eliminate White Noise in Windows 10 Built-In Mic

Feb 15, 2024

If you're using a Windows 10 device, you might experience white noise or a hissing sound while using the built-in microphone. This can affect the overall sound quality and hinder clear communication. Fret not, as there are a few tried and tested methods to eliminate white noise from your Windows 10 built-in microphone.



  1. Check the audio settings: Go to the Control Panel, open 'Sound' settings, and click on the 'Recording' tab. Right-click your microphone and choose 'Properties' to adjust levels and enhancements. Ensure the 'Microphone Boost' is set to a lower level to reduce white noise.



  2. Update your audio drivers: Outdated audio drivers might be causing the white noise problem. To update them, open 'Device Manager', right-click your 'Audio Inputs and Outputs' and select 'Update Driver'.



  3. Reduce background noise: Do your best to keep the environment quiet and free of background noise, as it contributes to white noise in the mic.





  1. Utilize noise-canceling software: Programs like RTX Voice and NoiseGator can help remove white noise from your audio, providing a much cleaner output.



  2. Consider an external mic: If all else fails, using an external microphone with a dedicated noise-cancellation feature could be your best bet.




These solutions will help you significantly reduce white noise in your Windows 10 built-in mic, ensuring better quality audio recordings and clearer communication.
