Mic Problems

I am running a MacBook Pro with an external monitor. While using TS3 with another program, it was noted my built-in microphone was picking up the fan in the computer when the lid was shut. To remedy this, I opened the lid slightly and it all cleared up. Fast forward to squawkbox and earlier today, everything was working fine. Controllers could hear me well and all was right in the world. I logged in later and all squawkbox is picking up, is static. I switched over to TS3 to see if there was another problem with my mic, but they said they heard me fine.

 

Well, I was all ready filed and whatnot, so I didn't want to restart the game and get myself all situated again, so I resorted to text comms. Anyways, has anyone else had this problem, and what is the remedy?

 

Thanks in advance and I'm excited to be a part of this community!

Using the built-in mic can result in a lot of feedback.

 

I'd recommend using a USB headset.
