I have some air noise (That hissing sound) When I record audio with my mic. It doesn't happen in skype my friends tell me they can't tell the difference between being me being muted or me not talking but in windows when I do "Listen to this device" It is heard and also when I record videos with OBS. It still happens when I mute my microphone too.
 
Programs like Skype are programed to remove the background noise but recording programs usually capture all sound. Just sounds like a poor quality mic is the most likely cause.
 


That's what I thought too but it happens when I mute the mic too.
