Advice for using Bandicam to Record Baldur's Gate

[ZaramMaldovar]

I recently got a (pretty cheap tbh) headset and was hoping to record a Let's Play of Baldur's Gate but I keep playing around with the audio settings and can't get it to quite pick up my voice right. Idk if it 's the headset or the settings as I'm not exactly a tech wiz. Anyone have any advice?

Audacity also doesn't seem to want to use the mic on my headset. Seems to have no problems using the speakers. But the mic? It's a no go

Nevermind it's the headset. Yeesh it's awful. Anyone know where I can get a good quality wireless headset for not too much money?

That depends where you live and what you consider a reasonable budget.

I have a HyperX Cloud Flight, bought it online in 2021 IIRC, and I'm quite happy with the sound quality and nobody has complained about the mic yet.

Look for small dongles that don't bend or break easily, pay attention to how comfortable earpads are, especially if you wear glasses sometimes, and ideal would be if you got a headset that doesn't have a cable only for charging but can be used with it when discharged.

Bluetooth needs less battery than 2,4 GHz wireless, but the latter is faster, with Bluetooth you sometimes get a slight delay. And if you want to record, it's essential that your PC or your headset or both have some noise canceling option or it will always sound awful.
