my question is why does shadowpc make your mic sound robotic? i mean i know what to do when it does but i shouldnt have to...

#

It's related to the mic capture method and how games and apps are requesting access to it (exclusive mode)

So I can’t completely fix it?

haughty dagger Sep 3, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

I don't think so

stray hamlet Sep 3, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

Do you maybe habe an USB mic? If yes have you tried ShadowUSB?

yes its usb and where do i find that?

stray hamlet Sep 3, 2024, 6:09 PM

#

You can install ShadowUSB in Shadow launcher on settings tab (controller and USB). When you've installed this you can start Shadow and activate the USB mic in Shadow overlay (controller and USB tab). Maybe this works better for you

Side note, they said they’re also experiencing stuttering and lag. I’m leaning towards a network issue being a root.

fair dew Sep 3, 2024, 6:37 PM

#

This?

stray hamlet Sep 3, 2024, 6:44 PM

#

Yeah there you've still installed ShadowUSB. So you could look in Shadow overlay if your mic appears. If yes click / enable the mic

#

You could try

my mic has never worked properly on Shadow

Then I also think what G - Sparse said. For mics and other USB devices it's necessary to have a good latency, a very low jitter, no packet loss, enough upload bandwidth and a stable connection.

fair dew Sep 3, 2024, 8:04 PM

#

I mean is this bad?

stray hamlet Sep 3, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

Yeah definitely

#

Extreme packet loss and sometimes a higher Latency

#

Additionally 4 ms from your router to your local device should be 1 ms

fair dew Sep 3, 2024, 9:44 PM

#

it didnt say that when i read it said should be under 10 or something

#

i cant get my router any closer so

crisp spire Sep 4, 2024, 12:39 AM

#

I knew it. Your connection quality is tanked. That's why nothing works. Packet loss should be 0%

fair dew Sep 4, 2024, 12:55 AM

#

well for it being tanked it works fine everyday i play my game on here the only issue is mic sometimes so....and the stuttering after the shadowpc came back...

haughty dagger Sep 4, 2024, 8:36 AM

#

1ms for ethernet, <5ms for wifi is ok/normal

#

now to find out if your latency/packet loss is related to network or something else first, so better try fully wired and give all details required for debug as detailed here : https://discord.com/channels/460948857304383488/1210660461457051758

fair dew Sep 4, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

wym fully wired and its 4ms now i use ethernet

haughty dagger Sep 4, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

ethernet only should gives you 1ms on local device to local router or there's something wrong

fair dew Sep 4, 2024, 7:57 PM

#

what could be wrong?

crisp spire Sep 4, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

It’s Ethernet directly to your main router, right? No mesh network, no WiFi repeaters with Ethernet ports on them, etc.

fair dew Sep 4, 2024, 11:01 PM

#

the main is downstairs this is the second one thats upstairs cause initially in my room wifi ws poor

lucid panther Sep 5, 2024, 12:46 AM

#

Repeater gotta go

#

If ur using it

#

Might bring WiFi to the whole house but slows it down.

fair dew Sep 5, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

whats repeater

#

the second wifi box?

brave tangle Sep 5, 2024, 5:28 AM

#

So you’re not connected via Ethernet direct to main router. If there’s a wireless connection between the main router and what you’re connected to you’re not on a wired connection, you’re still technically on a wireless connection.

fair dew Sep 5, 2024, 12:24 PM

#

You can’t say it’s gotta go. I can’t bring the Wi-Fi from downstairs upstairs so that’s why we got the second but ok

brave tangle Sep 5, 2024, 12:26 PM

#

Wifi is wireless. So not sure what you mean by bringing the wifi from downstairs.. Anyways.. The repeater you're using might be the issue. What is it you're plugged into?

fair dew Sep 5, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

I meant the main router. Wym?

brave tangle Sep 5, 2024, 1:24 PM

#

What is your ethernet cable plugged into and how is that device connected to the main router?

#

Like what product is it?

fair dew Sep 5, 2024, 1:37 PM

#

It’s plugged into the wall.

#

It’s just an extra for upstairs so Wi-Fi is stronger

brave tangle Sep 5, 2024, 1:38 PM

#

So it's a wifi repeater/extender with ethernet port?

#

Like this ?

fair dew Sep 5, 2024, 2:32 PM

#

basically yes

lucid panther Sep 6, 2024, 6:57 PM

fair dew You can’t say it’s gotta go. I can’t bring the Wi-Fi from downstairs upstairs so...

So basically do a Speedtest and say what is your internet speed download and upload

#

WiFi Repeaters are not recommended on Shadow.

fair dew Sep 6, 2024, 6:59 PM

#

how i do a speedtest and with all due respect im working with what i can recommended or not i dont actually have a choice so...

lucid panther Sep 6, 2024, 7:00 PM
