Windows 10: Headset mic is too quiet in Windows apps, but not in other apps!

So I am using the Bose QC 35 II Gaming headset for gaming, chatting on discord, recording, and streaming. When using with my PC, this is a WIRED headset, not bluetooth. I have Windows 10. My volume is plenty loud enough my friends tell me in Discord, and I can hear for myself in my streams and recordings in OBS, that it is sufficiently loud. But when I try to set up my microphone for Windows speech to text, or try to record in other applications like recording voice-over in DaVinci Resolve, the volume is very low. In the volume test for setting up Windows speech recognition, it barely goes i

Xbox App Mic Too Quiet

When I use my headset with the Xbox app on the PC for Xbox party chat everyone complains that I am too quiet. I know it's not the headset as I use this headset when i am on the Xbox itself and I don't get any complaints.

 

Help with headset in some games/apps

I just bought the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 and i want to be able to switch from hearing everything out of my speakers to hearing it out of my headset. Its not very simple since its a USB headset. So i went to the control panel > sounds and audio devices > audio tab and i switched it to the LX-3000 headset. The problem is that in some games/apps it will still go through my speakers. These games/apps that still go through the speakers are: Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Winamp, NHL '08, and BF2. The ones that work fine are: GTA SA, CS:Source, Power DVD, any desktop program like MSN, firefox, or IRC. These are the only things ive tested. Ive tried adjusting every setting i can find, WMP even had a thing in the settings for this and it still went out of my speakers. So, what am i doing wrong, because it obviously should be able to work for all games/apps? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated *Smile
