USB mic voice record problem

Question

Hi All. I bought a new USB microphone, but I have problem with voice recording. My voice after record looks distorted/ like with hard limiter on voice. I'm tried to use ASIO, change mic config, uninstall and install mic drivers and still nothing. On another USB mic everything is okay.. So, Is it a bug of my new microphone? Is there any possibility to fix it?

This looks like a gain staging issue. You need to turn the 'gain' knob on the microphone down, and the level on whatever controls the level (if it's Windows, the Windows Mixer) up. At the moment the microphone preamp, which is regulated by the gain control on the mic, is being overloaded so a distorted signal is being sent to the computer's USB port - where it is being under-recorded.

Without actually hearing the samples, we can't tell, although the third sample doesn't look clipped. What is the original microphone?
