I don't usually come on here but I have a tech support problem that I can't think of a short description for, which makes googling it impossible.
I game, and I game with friends. I have a webcam with a solid mic that gives good fidelity but it has a weird problem.
When the computer is making lots of noise, and I mean system noise, like music or game sound effects, my voice becomes inaudible to other people i'm on a VOIP chat with...regardless of whether I'm using headphones or not.
I encounter this problem most with skype, and even more wierdly it goes away if I mute my computer...even though I'm using headphones, and there is NO sound in the room that actually drowns out my voice.
I'm using pic related, a Logitech HD C615.

Just pitching something since 0 replies.
Have you made sure to mute / disable all nonessential recording devices eg. line-in? Maybe try plugging in a 3.5mm cable or adapter into any spare mic /input ports; the logic being the PC would register and listen to these "devices" but not pick up any actual sound, since they wouldn't be connected to anything on the other end.
webcam mics are all shit and you should never use them.
if on the other hand you bought a unicorn, then your webcam mic is probably fine and what they'er hearing is possibly coil whine
