Boya mic not working correctly (crackling sound)

Hi!

I have this really weird problem. I have this Boya microphone (By-BM3031) and it works perfectly on the desktop pc (Windows 10). Although my room isn't pretty good for recording, the sound of the mic is pretty good with OBS studio.

Now I am on a laptop (Windows 11, ZenBook UX535LI). I connected the same mic and did some tests with the Windows 11 sound recorder. Horrible! There is always this crackling sound, no matter what I do. Hard to describe, but it sounds like constant electricity buzzing. Even when I set the monitor off and just hit record.

I also have another mic but that one is wireless (transmitter and receiver) and the quality isn't as good as the Boya. I need to tell my Windows that it's a headset, not a mic. I tried this trick with the Boya too; no luck.

The webcam mic, which has a terrible quality, doesn't have the crackling sound. So I could assume it's the mic, but when I connect the mic to the desktop it works fine... I am so confused right now.

I checked all the settings and it should be okay (I guess not since it goes wrong).

Things I have done:

  • Updated the BIOS
    Downloaded the BIOS Update for Windows from the official BIOS page.
  • Reinstalled the audio driver via the device manager
  • Closed Skype (no idea why, but someone said it)
  • Disabled all other audio input devices
  • Played with the levels of the microphone

Anyone got any tips where to look? Thanks!
