I realized that as every time it happened in the session I was told by Girl Friend It sounded to her (Over Her TV in a separate room behind 2 closed doors I was yelling at the computer ( She does not race nor really understands how this works so she always asks why I am talking to the computer so much ( well now after some months she understands this feature a bit)
SO I went and reset the Mic Boost and the Mic Volume so that when I am talking to it (in sound options so I can see the volume bar) I set it so that it has 1-2 bars instead of 1/2 the bar meter like normal. Lately it seems that it is understanding me about 80% of time and if it does not I realize to lower my voice a little and it understands me fine.
1 Other thing I just realized too, on my old Laptop I used until 3 weeks ago for no reason what so ever my Mic input on my Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB , would stop working until I disconnected and reconnected USB, it would do this at very random times but like 2-10 times a day , now though it seems to have no problems at all (NEW Desktop, New Windows Install and all New Drivers may have solved this issue.
