Hi
I use the HyperX Cloud Flight S.
In Windows it showed 2 devices:
HyperX Cloud Flight S Chat
HyperX Cloud Flight S Game
my microphone sounds very bad. I suspect my system’s drivers use the Chat device since on windows it used to sound just as bad as now.
I found a thread on reddit that kind of sounds like my problem but I am not sure what exactly I am looking at…
https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/fobp2s/cloud_flight_s_microphone_help_linux/
Any help is appreciated since I dont really know where to start.
