  1. Microphone barely audible


    This is quite urgent due to online school so if you could have a read I would be grateful.


    Essentially, my mic pick up levels are super low. I have done everything Microsoft and other websites have suggested like upping the input, disabling and enabling drivers and so on and so forth but nothing seems to work. At first I thought my mic was broken because it wasn't registering any sound so I used a headset but this way around the problem only works for Microsoft teams which is very strange. I know my headset works and is fully functioning and have tried with other sets to check this.


    Settings, Discord, Zoom and all other apps register my audio as around 9-20% meaning I am barely audible and it is becoming a great problem. I have checked the individual settings and the privacy setting for these apps to but have discovered nothing. If anyone has had this problem before or has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I have no idea what is wrong as none of the tests are coming back with conclusive results but trouble-shooter thinks everything is okay which is a mystery to me.


    Please, if you have any ideas let me know. Thank you.

    :)

  3. NOKIA 3110 CLASSIC-VOICE MEMO IS BARELY AUDIBLE

    I bought a Nokia 3110 Classic a few days back, I am a very heavy user of voice memo as I work in the service industry. The voice memo is barely audible when played back. Can anyone tell me if they have the same problem ? or how to change the settings to
    play it through speaker phone. If I am not able to get a solution, I may have to junk this phone. There also is no boom headset for this phone in the market, nor in the Nokia website. Any suggestions please ?
