Microphone Static

[Ragex]

Can anyone help with this issue I have? When using Skype or VOIP problems I get a loud buzzing/static noise that people tell me, I've listening to it myself through windows 'Listen in' option on sound and it's constantly getting louder and louder until I mute my mic and then unmute it, the problem with that is it doesn't take long to start getting louder. Any help is greatful.

After investigating it's something to do with my 'microphone boost' settings, unfortunately I need to use microphone boost otherwise no one can hear me. Any ideas?

What mic do you have? I had a cheap clip-on mic that just started doing it one day. I eventually gave up with it and bought a new mic. Problem solved.
