Recent update ruined my USB mic audio quality - help!
Liam Dawe Dec 14, 2022
Hi all, Liam here.

After a recent system update in Fedora KDE, my USB microphone audio quality took a big nose-dive. It sounds more robotic, like it's at a really low bitrate.

Does anyone have suggestions as to what I can do to find the issue?

I double-checked on Windows 10 where it sounds fine, so it's not a hardware issue, it happened after an update to the system.
