Windows 10: Microphone too low

HiI have a problem with my microphone. When I try to use my microphone I can't hear it. I only hear it if I scream in it. I have already tried everything like max volume, windows updates, driver updates, microphone booster but it still is very low. I thought maybe it was my headset but my other headsets are the same. I even tried a bluetooth headset but my microphone is still very low. Can you help me?
