Hi all,

My Steelseries headset was working perfectly on Steam and in games such as CSGO prior to updating to Windows 10.

It seems to make a robotic kinda noise now, like I have a voice changer.

The mic still works perfectly on TeamSpeak though So baffled as to why it's so bad on Steam and in games?
 
Well it could have to do with drivers that aren't optimized for Win 10 yet... so check that. Try reinstalling SteelSeries Engine(make sure to unplug the headset until it is reinstalled).
 
I have the 3.5MM version so there are no drivers for it. Also, it does work perfectly in TeamSpeak on Windows 10 so the issue seems to be with Steam?
