LG Velvet

Hello everyone. I have an LG Velvet and noticed everytime I use an external mic the sound on my end sounds like I'm in a bathtub and the phone is submerged under water. I tried a usb-c dongle and when I plug the mic into that and then into the usb port there's no sound whatsoever. I have made sure the connections are secure. Could it be the brand of microphone I'm using?

The mic is a PoP voice Professional Lavalier Lapel Microphone Omnidirectional Condenser Mic. Note that I used this mic on a Samsung Note 9 and had no issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
