My new NW-700 microphone's volume is extremely low even when it's turned up all the way in sound settings. I have to put the mic very close to my face for it to pick up any noise. There's also an annoying buzzing noise in the background. The mic works with my phone, though. Also, when using a usb mic there's a high pitched screeching noise in the background.

Here's what it sounds like (the mic is a couple inches from my face, mic volume at 100, and +20 dB) : http://picosong.com/Zguh/

Specs:
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i5-3470
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro4-M Micro ATX
Video Card: Radeon R9 390
Power Supply: EVGA 750w B2

I am having the same issue with my Acer Laptop. I have the volume levels turned up on the microphone. The microphone hardly picks up my voice, and there is a buzzing sounds in the background like the one you have recorded. Any help would be appreciated.
