Automatic Gain Control (AGC) – Turn it off in the mic settings.

Software Settings – Check if any auto-normalization or auto-leveling is enabled.

Drivers – Update or reinstall your audio drivers.

Microphone Position – Make sure the mic isn’t too close and picking up background noise.

Recording Software Settings – Check input levels and other settings in the recording app.
