hi there,
just from speaking to people in pavlov I've found that I'm not alone on this issue, yesterday I found the solution so I thought I'd share it.
go to sound control panel in windows, go to recording, click properties on rift s mic, go to advanced and turn OFF allow applications to take exclusive control of this device and give exclusive mode applications priority
Hope this helps someone.

Do you have to leave the game when you fix it? I have this happen to me quite often when playing VRChat.
This is a permanent fix, you might have to the the game, just change the setting in windows, then restart your PC and it should never come back
Oh wow that's pretty cool!! Thanks, hopefully this works for me!
I hope so! My rift s had the problem so bad even recordings had it, but when I changed those settings it went away 100% and hasn't come back since
How long has it been since you've done this fix?
So I do this and it won't happen again?
Correct, this is a permanent fix and as long as you don't change the setting back to default the issue should never come back
If what you’ve told me is true, you will have gained my trust.
Now if only my Rift wasn’t halfway across the country so I could test it.
TOTALLY WORKED on my Facebook livestreaming, where the mic was always robotic. THANKS
Bro if this is the fix you just saved some of my friends 100s of dollars my mic does this all the time
I get it once in a blue moon, unplugging the USB and plugging it back in fixes it up nice and quick.
Close whatever game or app you are running first.
