Just plug it out and plug it back in again. Works more than you'd think!

Oh boy, static mics can be a buzzkill, especially when you're trying to coordinate with your team in CS:GO! First off, check if your mic is the culprit by trying it on another device. If it works fine elsewhere, dive into the CS:GO settings and adjust the 'Mic Setup' and 'Voice Transmission Threshold'. Sometimes, the game just doesn't play nice with your mic levels. If that doesn't work, toggle 'Enable Voice' off and on again in the audio settings. Sounds basic, but it's like the classic 'turn it off and on again' technique for mics!

Another quick fix for a static-y mic in CS:GO is to make sure your sound card drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of weird mic issues. Head over to your sound card manufacturer's website, grab the latest drivers, and install them. Restart your game (and maybe even your PC) to see if it clears up the static.
