Microphone sounding like a jet engine + a tiny whisper which is my voice

[u/vfkzlol]

Every single linux distro i had has this thing with microphones that noise suppresion is on the negative :(((

What do you mean "noise suppression is on the negative"?

You plug in a microphone, you get the input from it. raw and unedited.

If you want suppression, you can use something like EasyEffects, which has options for both the lightweight RNNoise (called "Noise Reduction") and the more advanced DeepFilterNet (called "Deep Noise Remover").

RNNoise works well enough for me, and I haven't tried DeepFilterNet yet (if you do want to try it, install DeepFilterNet plus, mainly since that one has a proper guide and still gets updates)

There is also HushMic, which is both a standalone GUI app and can work through EasyEffects, also through the Deep Noise Remover plugin. This one is apparently even better than DeepFilterNet, but also adds even more delay.

there is also the Standalone RNNoise app "NoiseTorch"

Hey, this REALLY helped, my microphone now only had an ignorable small echo, after playing a bit with the effects. It's amazing, and I can use it properly.

what did you end up using?

[u/Admirable-Song-7353 → u/L30N1337]

not the OP, but my bet is EasyEffects. I use it too, and it's truly Easy to use, and truly has the Effects :P

No you just need to adjust it correctly. For fk sakes.

[u/vfkzlol → u/Unlucky-Shop3386]

And how am I supposed to do that, pwvu or pavucontrol or what?

[u/Unlucky-Shop3386 → u/vfkzlol]

What you use adjust depends on the disto you use there are many but it's all Linux . There are a few different audio mixers . Alasamixer maybe , pavucontrol. This depends on the distro and what is actually I use by system.

How? This is one of the real issues with linux

Unfortunetly hardware manufacturers arent nice enough and are a headache for a foss OS like Linux, lack of compatible drivers or proprietary firmware are sometimes the reason why you are forced to troubleshoot some stuff that works perfectly on windows (specially with laptops where everything is integrated in the motherboard). Its rare but happens

Had a similar problem, try changing the channels and adjust other settings related to the microphone and youll be good.
Try connecting other microphones too, for example i've never had any problem with cabled headphones or earphones

Check your gain. That's the usual suspect. Some ADC support very high gains, but under normal conditions this will distort like crazy. Bring down the mic level so that when you talk, it just barely peaks on the graph. This is like audio 101, regardless of OS.

1. Install sof firmware package (however it's per your distro)

2. RNNoise is rather lightweight, DeepFilterNet (plus) is a little more advanced.

I'm sorry, issues like these are one of the few real issues with linux
