Try recording yourself to a file (e.g. use Audacity). Does it sound
clear? If not, check your mike gain isn't wound up excessively high,
wiggle leads and connectors, see if you can find a fault with your mic
that you can make come and go.
That right there may be the problem, cranking it up too high.
If your recordings sound clear, then you may be experiencing a
transmission issue over the internet. What people call "static" is
wrong in the first place, and misleading in that they call all sorts of
different things by the same name.
That won't be it because my sister and I share a house and her voice
comes through fine.
I know you said you're not in a position to buy a new mic, but it might
be worth buying a $2 cheapy as an experiment. You don't have to use a
headset, you can use separate mikes and headphones.
It's not that I can't afford to buy another mic, it's the principle of
the thing. I've had lots and lots of people suggest that I throw money
at a problem, but in my 70 years, I've only once had somebody offer to
throw their own money at a hardware problem. And, I don't really need a
headset, my laptop's speakers work Just Fine.
