How Can I Fix the Humming Noise in My YouTube Mic?

-

I’m planning to become a YouTuber and I want to start recording videos, but I’ve been having trouble with my microphone. There’s a weird humming noise in the background that I can hear while recording, and it ends up in my final videos too. I’m looking for advice on how to fix this issue or recommendations for a budget-friendly, high-quality microphone that I could buy.

First off, can you let us know what type of microphone you’re using? If it’s a USB mic that connects to your PC or something that uses a 1/4 inch jack can make a difference. Also, are you recording on a laptop or desktop? This info might help pinpoint the issue more accurately!

I think it’s a 3.5 mm TRRS jack. I have a headset with a mic, and I’m using a splitter to connect it to both ports on my PC. Could that be causing the issue?
