Hello, I recently got a g430, (a few days ago), and I'm really enjoying it. But Im currently having one big issue with the headset involving the mic.

The whole reason I bought this headset was for a somewhat low-cost way to get into gaming commentaries on YouTube. But when I record with a screen recorder, like fraps, everything works fine, except for the mic.

When I'm talking, the audio either cuts out or softens drastically. This happens around once every three seconds, and it's hard to make any proper recordings with it. I have no idea what the problem is, but if anybody knows anything at all, some help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Solution
Does the mic work at all? Try using windows's audio recorder to see if it still works.

If it does then it could be a problem with fraps, try using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS).
