Microphones only sound horrible on Laptop

[Jordan1462]

My mic sounds very distorted and deep and unintelligible all around. Even cortana can’t understand me. Now i thought it was the mic but when i used the same mics on different devices it sounded completely fine but once plugged into the laptop it sounded horrible again. I’ve tried everything from messing with the mic and device properties and changing drivers but nothing works. Any help? I believe this started to happen ~2 years ago because that was when cortana could actually understand what i said.

you posted to desktops,  why?

no external mic told  there are vast mics sold , 3.5mm (TRS andTRRS) and Blue tooth and USB.

the PC may have its own, if not turned off they can COLLIDE.

your PC spec page shows.

HP Webcam with integrated digital microphone

did you forget that it is there? and forget to turn it off first, then use external mics of any kind?

when i used the same mics on different devices
