I don't know what I did otherwise, but after tinkering with the sound some more and once again decreasing my mic volume to 45% or so, people say my mic is a little low (naturally) but no longer sounds horrible or breaks their sound in-game.
if it depend on mic volume level, you have to find out the dB values in "alsamixer -c0" since the dB range of capture volume of most sound cards are +ve (gain) instead of atten so clipping will occur at certain level
