I have it right now, and I was wondering what can I do to stop the hissing that comes with this mic?

I have the same issue and honestly feel that it's a piece of junk with no solution here. Maybe someone else has an idea?

Are you using Phantom Power that supplies power from the camera to the microphone? Many people have said that using Phantom Power has caused noise.Also, check the adapter and the cable plugs, if the wire is loose or the conductors aren't seated right, this can also cause noise. I have had to replace the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter because the pin was loose and it was causing a screeching noise. I hope this helps!

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...

As others have suggested, the hiss is coming from something upstream of the speaker. I have two of these speakers and have used them extensively, and they are silent except for the signal coming in. If you are using a mixer or some other input device that requires you to set the level, pay close attention to the procedure for doing so. Improperly set levels can cause noise problems when you turn up the volume to the level you're after.

I read that someone had that trouble. Search with this: "Samson GO MIC USB Condenser static or interference HELP!"

I had a slight problem with the hiss. Suggestion that worked for me: Upon EVERY refill, carefully clean ALL surfaces, cracks, threads, and teflon gasket of the head piece. Tighten head to body firmly.

I've had the same problem since I plugged it in. A small buzzing sound that gets louder. If I tap the earpiece where the mic arm is attached it goes away briefly. I sent that pair back, but the new set does the exact same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

I use the audio out on the Duet through headphones, but if you're getting a bad hiss I would think you'd want to check the settings that you're using in the Maestro configuration page. Be sure that if you're using a microphone you have the input set to Mic and adjust the dB parameters appropriately. On mine it sounds really good, but you do have to tweak the settings.

I believe the problem to this is that your microphone is transmitting with auto-adjust. This means if you are to loud it turns down the voice and if your to quiet it turns it up. Somewhere in recording devices you can turn it off.

Try to set mic all levels at 50% and keep the microphone away from speakers. Hope it will solve your problem.

If you're carrying audio over HDMI, your connection is fine. The cause of the hiss is either your receiver-speaker lines or the audio settings on your computer, including drivers and software. If the his happens for other HDMI audio sources (e.g. gaming console, BluRay player), then the problem is your speaker connection. If it's only your computer, Try updating audio drivers, different audio programs, and verify that the sound card and receiver are using the same audio format. Good luck!

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

Thanks to your suggestion I plugged a Logitech camera/microphone into one of the usb ports (the one on the left side) and sound tested ok as did camera. That should rule out some parts of the machine (like the sound card I think). Anyone able to do this as well?

You should get a pop filter for any mic you get. It will make your recordings sound much better ( if you're using it for voice recording).

If you downloaded the driver it could be your microphone boost that is on, or maybe you have some grounding issues, make sure your usb is in all the way, or it could be that your microphone have some wiring issues. If everything doesn't work, try looking up on google.

I use the mic close by also, and when I play back through my external speakers (or even the speakers built into the laptop), I have not had any feedback. This really is the best mic I've found out there. Hope this helps!!!

You don't have the mic plugged in on port correctly. Maybe little plastic over port or not snapped in tight enough

Your welcome, I really do like this TV. Now if I could just get the hissing noise I'm experiencing to go away it would be a home run.

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.
