Windows 10: My mic is so much louder than the rest of my desktop

Hello,


for the past 9 months ive had the problem of trying to record things , only to find out that the background noise (friends talking in discord, game sounds, videos ect.) is really quiet.

Here i have attached a video to show you what it sounds like in playback.

Things to note:

In this clip, my volume control on my PC is on maximum (100)

My headset does have a seperate volume slider, however i turned it low just to make the volume 100 (so it sounds normal for me)

My headset is also very cheap, so im not sure if it's a problem with the headset or windows in general.

My mic is boosted to +10dB

It might not sound that bad in the clip, but it is really noticable because i usually have my sound anywhere from 40-50 .

EDIT:

it appears in this video you cant hear my mic and the sound is louder, but in my files you can hear my voice and the video is quieter, something wrong with youtube maybe? idk either way can you guys still let me know if you've had this problem

:)

 

USB Mic Problems.


The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

Issues with Mic? a MB issue? OS issue?

shed some light here. i plugged my Mic. to front panel and the volume is louder but the issue with the Detection at first is still happening. i have to hit the *Detect Audio Devices button in order to get a better connection or whatever. i'll try what you suggested.

This might occur when some of the mic setting got corrupted.
