  2. My microphone is really quiet

    HELP NEEDED

    I got a new mic and it was working fine until recently, i got a new mic because of this problem, but it has come back. recently my microphone went really quiet, people can still hear me but i'm having to put my mic virtually in my mouth whilst shouting for
    them to hear me. My mic works fine on any other device like my Mac but not on my Windows 10 laptop. I have gone into sound settings and maximized the output not much change really, i've troubleshooted everything, I've reinstalled drivers, I've tried so many
    things i'm at a lose, maybe its the Audio jack problem, so i would love any suggestions.

    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.

    How To Boost Microphone Volume More Than 100%

    Thank you Dalchina. I have tried all the suggestions in the links but to no avail. Microsoft update says all available updates have been installed. I tried one by one from Device manager and it says that the best drivers are already installed for my sound card and usb ports. Sadly, Equaliser API has no effect on my usb plug in mic.

    I am using an Asus H31 Gamer mobo. But the mic in question is a plug in usb device so I don't know if the sound card is involved in any way.

    I will keep trying to find a solution but in the meantime will just have to speak one inch from the mic so others can hear. Apart from the low volume, its quite a clear mic.

    Kind regards
    Chris
