New to cpap need tip to stop gurgling noise

Im new to wearing a cpap so forgive me if i seem ignorant. Ive had my cpap for about 2 weeks and ive been trying to wear it every night but about 4 hours into my sleep it wakes me up with this gurgling noise. I googled it and i do believe its water condensed in the tube from the humidification. I have my humidification set on 7 out of 10 because i get very dry mouth. Truthfully id like to have it on 10 out of 10. I tried following tips i read online such as keeping the machine and tubing lower than my head so theoretically the water would drain down but that didn't help. I already have fhe heated tubing but thats not working either. I don't want to give up on the cpap but im sleeping much worse than i did prior to owning it because of it waking me up. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for any typos its late.

Usually, dry mouth comes from mouth breathing...this can be relieved some by using xylimelts from your pharmacy. If this works, you can reduce the humidity levels. Often a hose cover helps to insulate a standard hose.

you may need to use a heated hose to reduce the condensation and/or a hose cover

Condensation in the mask or hose. A common problem. Your options explained in this thread posts number 2 and 3.
