1. It might be your sound card, try adjusting the mic from that. (if you already have, try adjusting it from a .exe file called voice_tweak, usually in C:/Sierra/Counter-Strike or C:/Sierra/Half-life)

2. It is caused by lag. (for me, it was clear one minute, then choppy the next.)

3. Maybe something is screwed up with the listeners speakers or something. Type voice_loopback 1 in console, then speak through the mic. You should be able to hear yourself, and if its clear, that means its the other players problem.

4. Some mics echo the sound coming out of your speakers or the wind. (you may ask, what wind? the wind comin out of your mouth.) In this case, you should get a new mic.

5. Get a better sound card.
