Windows 10: Laptop Mic won't increase volume with Windows 11

I wanted to first point out that I've searched the internet quite a bit looking for resolutions to this as well as have tried several youtube videos. The "turn it off and back on again" level response or pasting a link to a very basic thing to check probably won't resolve this. This is a real bug issue that I don't know if there's any way out of it. I have the MSI GF75 This 10UEK laptop. I've used the mic on it many times prior to the windows 11 update without issue. The issue is that the volume of the mic is so low I can't even hear it and I have no means to adjust it's volume. 1 Updated t

Hi Rodney,

Suddenly my system won't use a mic

One important step, try your mic with a different computer.

 

Adjusting Mic Volume for different programs

Trying to figure this out here. My mic volume has been fine in TS or Skype. But I recently picked up Dxtory and my mic is quiet in there. I have mic volume set to 100 and no Mic boost. I'd rather not use boost, but today I tried it out and it worked fine. Then I realized Dxtory is connected directly to the volume for your mic in Windows. Which is no problem I figured I would just drop down TS and Skypes outbound volume and be fine. Well Skype that works fine with, but it seems I can't in TS. So I'm stuck with 2 programs (TS and Dxtory), both tied to Windows Sound Settings, but one picks up my voice fine and the other picks it up low. I can't think of a way around it, any ideas here?
