I bought recently a HP X1000 Wireless Gaming Headset. It seemd alright at the first try, but on the second day my voice went from ok to "robotic" then my mic just wouldn't record any sound. After 2 minutes of trying things it just started to work again with "robotic" voice.
Since then, most of the time i have robotic voice ,sometimes it works properly and sometimes it just doesnt work at all.
I have tried EVERYTHING i saw on other forum posts and videos, eg.:
Batteries are fully charged
The microphone is not disabled in any way
The volume is set to 100% everywhere
Tried updating drivers
Tried troubleshoting
Restarting my pc/headset
Replugging the USB
Windows is properly set
Mircrophone is set to default
Tried Hp applications like OMEN Command Center
ect...
Can someone please help me?

3. Check if microphone isn't muted.

5. Disable enhancements

click on Microphone.
