    Microphone extremely quiet through 3.5mm jack


    Hi. I got a new HP laptop Victus 16dx000 and installed a Linux distro on it, where audio worked completely fine. Now I changed to windows 11 and I am having problems with my microphone volume, it's extremely quiet and nobody can hear me. I tried updating drivers both from HP's site, Realtek's site and ones from Intel. I had the same microphone on another laptop with windows 11 a lenovo without any problems.In the Recording Devices panel it seems that there is no difference between setting it to 100 or 1 volume, but setting it to 0 does completely mute the microphone.I also tried a BT hea

    :)

    Microphone extremely quiet

    What is the make/model of microphone you are using? Is this connected to the MIC jack or USB?
    Have you tried both the rear Pink mic jack and the front panel mic jacks?

    Microphone extremely quiet

    So for some odd reason, microphone input is really quiet.

    I'm using Asus ROG Strix B350-F Gaming as my board so the microphone is being plugged into that. I've tried putting microphone boost and levels to 100% but the input is still really really quiet, if you're lucky you can hear a whisper if you're shouting down the mic.

    I've tested the mic on other devices like my phone and it works fine but for some odd reason my desktop isn't being nice about it.

    This is darn annoying and a massive inconvenience.

    Things I've tried -
    Uninstalled realtek and re-installed the latest driver
    Set microphone boost and levels to max
    Tested with 'Disable all sound effects' on and off

    I'm out of luck at this point and I'm not entirely sure where to go from this. I'd love to get this fixed so some advice/help would be appreciated, thank you.
