Windows 10: Microphone Sensitivity to low, USB headset

Is there a way to separate headset volume and microphone sensitivity?USB headset when turning down the listening volume on earpiece, the master volume goes down and the microphone sensitivity also goes down.When adjusting the microphone sensitivity up it turns the master volume up and the earpiece volume goes up.Either people can't hear you or the volume is dangerously high.

My Gaming Headset Is not Appearing as a Seperate Microphone

I have an Asus, Cerberus Arctic Headset which has audio ports (not usb) and I cannot get the microphone to work properly. I've tried:

• Realtek Audio HD: Removing suppression and echo reduction; if the microphone is up high - it needs echo reduction or it over sensitizes itself (if that's a thing);
• Realtek Audio HD: Microphone volume down; better with not having blank voids of sound where the above "over sensitizes itself" however it's still unusuable;
• Realtek Audio HD: Disabling and going through Windows Playback Devices; no improvement;
• Realtek Audio HD: Trying all variations of settings; Nearly a whole day recording sounds and playing back to listen for improvement;
• Changed sound output to come from the monitor and not through the headset when recording; better with interferance/ clarity but still unusuable;
• Updating Drivers; newest is installed;
• Troubleshooting in Windows 10; unsuprisingly it says fine;

Suprisingly reviews seem to be quite good for this headset but this was the same with the Asus Sika mouse but I found this to be unusable.

My question is - The problem of Windows 10 with a low sounding microphone seems to be quite common and leads me to think it's a software issue. I cannot afford to spend another day trying to configure the microphone headset and I only need a microphone
really (not for gaming for screen movies, presentations things like that).

If I was to purchase a better microphone would this eradicate the problem or is the usb connection better for microphones? I would've thought analogue would be better for sound.


Recording via the laptop microphone is not bad, the problem seems to be that the Headset Microphone is not being picked up.

 

USB headset microphone not working

Hi,

This issue could have happened due to settings of your Microphone. To resolve your issue, we suggest that you check your Microphone is not disabled and set as default. You can follow these steps to check your microphone settings:

• Right click on the volume icon and select “Recording devices”.
• Now, right click on an empty space and select, “Show disconnected devices” and “Show disabled devices”.
• Select “Microphone” and click on “Properties” and make sure that the microphone is enabled.
• You may also check if the microphone that you are using is set as default.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

 

Apple Headset/Microphone not working

Sound quality issue is often related to people turning their microphone levels too high.

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

Your android headset or your apple headset stop working in January? It's not clear from your answers.

Your IT people should be able to figure out realtek driver issues and microphone sensitivity/volume issues for your android headset. Figure that out first.

You are chasing some faraway apple headset issue. Is your IT manager using the same laptop? Is it really the same apple headset? iPhones don't have audio jacks for a while and there are earbuds with volume controls and there are earbuds without. They look mostly the same.
