Hey there,
I've noticed before I load up and start playing the game that I'm streaming (WoW), the audio quality is fine, but once I start running WoW, the mic quality drops and everything sounds fuzzy and chopped.
Any idea on how to remedy this?
Thanks,
Adam

what's your computer specs? are you using a special mic that requires software?

I'm not sure what to list here, my laptop overall is worth ~$1,100, I'm not using any particular software, just the default mic that never has an issue when running applications such as Discord. It's a sensitive microphone with great quality imo.

open up task manager and see if your cpu/gpu is overloading. there you can find cpu/gpu model and ram size.
if your mic has driver installed, make sure it's updated.

CPU is oscillating between 80-100%, with WoW and Twitch Studio taking up half

The best drivers are apparently already installed
Thanks for trying to help out by the way

you have to lower the resource usage for the game or twitch studio
hitting 100% = throttle

How could I do that?
subtle venture
in the game? lower graphic settings
twitch studio? remove layers will help

Thanks, yeah I lowered the graphics to minimum, same issue. How can I remove the layers?
subtle venture
monitor your cpu usage. twitch studio, goto edit scenes, check every scenes and remove unnecessary layer

Didn't work, but I'll look into other options, thanks
Kind of dumb asking this on this server, but are there any other recommended studios other than Twitch Studio to stream on Twitch?
My mic never goes foggy when I run WoW and Discord so I'm guessing it's TS

You’re out of resources. 80% cpu doesn’t leave much for windows functions like a mic to function without lag (fuzziness)

Yeah looks like
Is it normal that a $1,100 laptop bought last year can't handle streaming?

Depends on the hardware and your stream quality settings. My laptop is about a year old. It's an i7-10750, 2700super, and 32gig ram. I an usually safely stream at 720p30fps while playing my games on high/ultra.

Also make sure you're using a cooling pad for the laptop. Thermal throttling is huge on laptops.
