Recording Quality is Horrible

I have Z170A Gaming m3 mobo by MSI. I'm pretty happy with the sound it produces. Nevertheless I can't record anything decent sounding. Only with Realtek drivers installed, I record fine if I speak right into the mic but the volume of a recording jump and down like crazy with every word I say. The good thing there's no noise. If I install Nahimic2 the volume doesn't jump up and down thanks to the voice leveler. However the noise suppression doesn't work at all. Oh Hell. On my old PC with P5B-E motherboard from 2007 I can record just fine with no issues. The volume doesn't jump up and down and noise suppression works great. How can I fix it? Is there anything I can do about it? I've got the latest drivers and nahimic installed. Bios is the lastest as well

Disable all noise suppression and noise canceling options from the driver. Those cause the weird effects.
 
I tried to no avail. Basically a mere presence of Nahimic2 causes that. I've tried to tweak its settings for a while with no success. Then I deleted Nahimic it didn't help cos I had an older Realtek driver (3 months old) . I downloaded a new one from Nahimic and installed only the realtek driver. The issue is gone.

Can I install a generic realtek driver from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false . This R 2.81. Will it work fine? Can I get some special effects to work?

This nahimic2 is just shit.
 
If you are serious as to recordeing, get a quality USB mic. I've been happy with this one.

Ok, but it sounds like it's at the mercy of some less than stellar mb based drivers and sound hardware. Just trying to help. The mic I mentioned would bypass all of that and could be used with any setup you have now and into the future and perform well. There are other cheaper USB based mic out there as well like the Snowball. If you really want to keep your current mic, the you could always try something like this for less then $10 to see if that fixes/bypasses the issues you are experiencing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NMXY2MO?psc=1
But I doubt the recording quality will be all that high.

Installed the lastest drivers by Realtek and figured its Nahimiic that causes the problem.
