Cleared up microphone static for my gadget test videos

I was using a new USB mic for my gadget test videos, but it had constant static. Tried different cables and ports with no luck. Updating the driver from the maker's site fixed it completely. Now my audio is crisp and clear for all my recordings.

Yeah the driver update from the maker's site is always the first thing I try. Those generic windows drivers never seem to work right with usb mics.

Ever consider those generic drivers actually work fine for most people? Windows Update grabs them automatically and everything just plugs and plays. Why add extra steps if the basic option does the job?

I had the same issue with my Blue Yeti mic. The generic Windows driver made it sound tinny and cut out sometimes. Downloading the latest driver from Blue's website fixed all the audio problems right away. What mic are you using that had driver troubles?
