  1. Microphone only works with Voice Recorder; Nowhere else.


    Hello,

    I'm using an Asus laptop, and I'm pretty sure I fucked up something, because the mic isn't working - except the voice recorder, the Windows 10 app. I tried everything - updating drivers, enabling/re-enabling from devmgmt, but I know for a fact that the mic isn't a problem, since it works fine when I run voice recorder. It stalls for a while before starting to record, but I can see the bars move up and down on the Audio settings page, and I can hear it back fine.

    I'm not sure what to do, I've fiddled with the Realtek Preferences Panel, but it's been a dud.

    Microphone only works with Voice Recorder; Nowhere else.

    My microphones don't record my voice as loud as I speak

    Hello all,

    To create a video tut I needed a screen capture app and a microphone to record my voice at the same time. I barely could find a headset and attached the microphone cable to the Windows 10 x64 machine. I think I've installed the microphone properly because Google can recognise the words I say when speaking, correctly.

    The problem is that the microphone doesn't record my voice as loud as I speak and after sending the video tut, the viewers must increase volume to the top to hear me, which is very embarrassing.

    I worked on the Sound -> Microphone menu settings and tried much to fix the issue so that my voice is normally audible afterwards:

    But no acceptable success yet, unfortunately.

    One thing: When I increase the Microphone volume on the Level tab to 100, the microphone records the voice loudly but there is an annoying matter with that! It adds too much background noise. *Sad

    I borrowed an HP Laptop model 250 G1 to test its built-in microphone. But uninterestingly, this shows the same problem as explained above as well! *Sad

    I don't know what else to do with the microphones. I don't know if there is a specific video recorder app I must use instead or not, either! *Sad

    What would you do if you were me, please?
    When I see videos on YouTube, the sound of the speaker is quite fine. I, too, would like to record my videos this way.

    Thank you for your time.
