Windows 10: Microphone is low on Window 11

My output volume from my microphone is so low that you can barely hear my voice. This has been an issue for over a week now and it started out of no where. I have boosted my output audio all the way to the max, the setting of my microphone is also boosted. I EVEN BOUGHT A NEW MICROPHONE because I thought it was my old headset was the problem, but that wasn't the case. I have an Asus gaming laptop that has Windows 11 installed. RECAP: it's not my actual microphone and not my microphone settings, SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM!?I appreciate all the help I can get :

Low Volume When Using Condenser Microphone.

Hello,

See my responses below. Basically I have already tried everything you suggested prior to me making this post. Also I don't understand why a cheap clip-on mic is working while my condenser mic isn't.
