Windows 10: Microphone boost

Hello,


I would like to know any way possible to increase the volume of my microphone for general purposes of voice communication.

I mainly use Discord, Teamspeak and Microsoft Teams.


As you can see in the screenshots below, the micrphone level is at the maximum and there is no boost option in any windows included advanced.








Thank you for your assistance.

:)

Thanks for replying

I did all the steps listed, but as shown in the screenshot above there is no Microphone Boost slider to modify. And in the "Custom" tab the Microphone Boost box is check-marked so I have no idea why its not showing.

Microphone boost goes up to +10db max?

Well, +20db would be typical- I guess that's what wou're expecting...

Figures up to 40dB are mentioned- this shows 30dB..
