    Microphone volume is too low


    Microphone input volume recently decreased significantly a few weeks ago. I cannot diagnose the cause nor can I find a method to correct it. Symptom - in sound settings, microphone volume was previously running around 90% of total volume. Now it's around 25-35%. I have tried plugging in the microphone to multiple USB ports with the same result. All my voice recordings are too quiet no matter what program or app I use, so I believe it is some sort of system issue.Windows 11 Home 22H2. All updates are current. This issue is occurring on two custom-built desktop and two Acer laptop computers.Fifi

    Microphone volume is too low

    laptop microphone pickup - very low volume since update

    Laptop microphone output volume is VERY low since Windows 10 update that I installed 6/10/20. No other changes. Zoom app (and microphone test through Windows) can barely pick up my voice. Noted that drivers for Intel Smart Sound Technology were updated
    in this build. (Volume set at 100%) Any suggestions?
