mic sample https://soundcloud.com/salutatixns/mic- ... FPWdSD3Vrv

mic and headphone audio has a peculiar effect and i can't seem to fix it, i have an audiobox96 and i'm using an audio technica mic, though im certain its the interface itself due to me trying another mic and the same headphones without encountering this issue.
i've diagnosed that it makes the bass sound scratchy.
