    Changing the Volume Mixer setting in Windows 11 solved my external microphone being too quiet


    After updating to Windows 11 this morning my headset microphone was too quiet to use for calls and online meetings. None of the normal fixes worked. By chance, when I clicked the speaker icon in the Task Bar I noted the option to click on Open Volume Mixer. The mixer has a volume setting for the mic, and was set at "40". I slid it up to "90" and it solved the problem. I had not seen any references to the Volume Mixer in this context and so thought I would share it.

    :)
