SteelSound 5H Headset - Microphone Static and generaly not working good - Need help

[Battleangel3222]

Just today, I received my Steel Pad 20060 5H Gaming Headset from newegg (LINK: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836509102 ) I have to say, im satisfied when it comes to its sound. But everyone complains about the microhpone, and am unable to use it in Ventrilo / Teamspeak. It makes HORRIBLE static noises and at different times people say it sounds like something is being blown into the mic. Anyone have any experience in fixing these types of problems?

Best bet would be to check all your sound settings (especially all the advanced sound settings)

I have been over and over and over again. Making sure my headset is the selected device, running through the volume control, etc... Anything in particular I should make sure is correct?
Few questions, though, should I enable "Microphone Boost"? or does anyone else have any suggestions?

i dont belive turning on microphone boost will help but you can try. Also i think i had this problem with one my other headsets in the past i solved it by selecting mute for the microphone in the volume control panel.
