My mic seems to pick up internal noise even when muted
So this mic pics up noise even when muted, white noise, like a "shhh" sound... even when muted. I've used various programs like Ableton, audacity, and now reaper, and still the same sound. I am using a toshiba netbook

Hi, You can check you the connectios or the mic. remember that the mic is too sensitive, you can adjust it with the nobb on the mic by putting it on o -dB and reduce the highs on your mixer or EQ to reduce hiss sound.
But fisr check the connection properly to see if when muted, is muted properly.
Take care.
Are you using Windows 7? Windows 7 has a bug that increases the noise by +30 dB. You just need to adjust the recording gain back down to 0 dB.
- Right-click the speaker near the clock
- Click Recording devices
- Right-click the USB Audio CODEC device
- Click Properties
- Go to the Levels tab, there will be a slider that says Microphone.
- Right-click on the number.
- Select decibels.
- Adjust the slider until it reads as close as possible to "0 dB".
