[My mic is a Speedlink pure desktop voice microphone, black]

On skype or teamspeak when i play games with my friends they say my mic is fine, but when I record my mic is soooo bad. I made a little recording to give u a better understanding of what it sounds like: http://imgur.com/lJApHPj

Have you posted your question to the OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) forums?

Someone there may have some ideas as to what is going on....

Are you cables undamaged ? Maybe check that . If not , check your headphone make and research the drivers for that specific brand , also check the levels for the mic it may be too high .

Fixed it! It was a driver problem.

Doing Option 1 and installing it fixed it. :) It sounds MUCH better with no cutting off but there is alot of backround/static
