    Mic Sensitivity is Low in Windows and Teams


    The computer mic works fine in zoom. However, when testing the mic under settings and in Teams, the volume is very low. The participants can only hear me if I scream.

    Microphone sensitivity changing by itself

    Hi. I tried troubleshooter, but it didn't find anything. I can't disable microphone access for apps, because I use mic very often in many apps - Discord, Teams, OBS, Bandicam, web browsers and sometimes other software. I need mic to be locked at 80, because
    it's very important when I am recording something or streaming with OBS.

    I was trying to figure out which app is changing sensitivity, but I failed to. I set mic sensitivity at 80 and was using step by step every app, but none of those changed sensitivity. But when I am using PC "normally", I need almost everyday to change sensitivity
    back to 80.

    Mic sensitivity too low even with max boost/gain

    I'm using a Szaerfa Headset Vocal Wired Microphone and, even with maximum boost/gain, the mic sensitivity is way too low. It does work, however, as, when I click my fingers into the mic, a single green bar appears. I've also unchecked the "Allow Applications
    to take exclusive control of this device" box, but it doesn't affect anything. I'm using a headphone splitter with it due to my laptop only having one audio jack, but even when the mic is in on its own, the same thing happens. Does anybody know a fix for this?
    Thanks.
