Sennheiser PC350 microphone problem!

[bfrings]

Hi there,

I recently got some new Sennheiser PC350 headphones and I'm having some problems with the microphone.

When I was using a £2500 gaming computer the microphone worked perfectly, crystal clear sound quality. But I'm now using a £300 laptop and everytime I use the microphone on skype/games/steam etc. the sound is always really distorted.

I'm not sure what to do. And the headphones are in perfect condition so I don't think its a hardware issue

Please help! Thanks!
