Hello, I have a MSI Pulse GL66. recently my microphone has been very quiet and people are telling me my voice is very soft and sometimes unhearable. ive tried other apps to see if the problem was app specific and found that i was having the same problem. im unsure of how to make it so my mic can hear me normally

Inbuilt microphone on laptop is so quiet

I have a lenovo ideapad laptop and recently the microphone quality on it has got very bad. When I'm on various video calls people can not hear me properly, which I have noticed was not a problem a few months ago.

I have tried various troubleshoots and done virtually all the recommended things for microphones that are not working, but as there is still some sound, although very quiet, the results of these troubleshoots say there is no issue because some sound can
still get through.

During covid, I need to use my microphone more often so this has become a real issue for me.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

 

Microphone keeps going really quiet

I've had a problem for a few months now, where my microphone 'randomly' becomes really quiet for a reason i don't know. I first noticed the problem in discord, but its also been occurring with other applications so its not a Discord problem. it goes quiet
for a random amount of time, before reverting back 2 normal, only for a few seconds, which makes it almost impossible to talk to people with.

I've tried a few things. Such as:

• Updating audio drivers from device manager.
• Turned off all of the 'Exclusive Mode' options
• boosting my microphone to try and counteract going quiet (didn't help)
• buying a brand new headset. (The ARCTIS 3 - Arctis 3 Gaming Headset)

if anyone can help, it would be very appreciated as its been bugging me for a while now. Thanks

(also, i'm using windows 10)

 

Windows 10 Game DVR: Microphone is way too quiet

Hi Kirby, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

If you've already adjusted the volume and boost for your microphone and it's still too quiet, it could be a driver issue.

I'd recommend reinstalling the microphone drivers through Device Manager. Here are the steps:

- Press Windows Key+X and choose Device Manager.

- Find your microphone in the list.

- Right-click it and choose Update Driver.

- If that doesn't work, try uninstalling it and then scan for hardware changes to reinstall the driver.

If it's still too quiet, test to see if the same problem occurs on another PC if you have one available.

Please let me know how you go! Thanks!
