Windows 10: No boost option for mic

So I got a new mic today and when I went to the properties for it I only saw a slider for volume and nothing for boost, it is a microphone that connects to the pc via usb and does not need a driver to be installed. Could someone please help me out here I don't really know how to get the slider for boost.

[Problem] No mic boost option?

Hi, Im having an audio problem right now.
I have a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 motherboard. Running Windows 8.1.
The problem is that I have no mic boost options in my audio settings for my usb nor my 3.5 jack mic as show in the picture.
I have installed the the drivers that came with the motherboard but there was also no option for mic boost so I went and got the drivers from the gigabyte website and VIA website as well.
Neither gave me the option for mic boost.
This is very irritating as when I am in chats, my friends cannot hear me.
I have also included my DxDiag.

 

Mic Boost Option missing from Mic levels settings in Windows 10

I am using an Asus P5N73-AM motherboard with an on board VIA VT1708B High Definition Audio 8 Channel chipset. When I plug in my RODE Mic I can barely hear it even with all the audio on maximum. There is absolutely no Mic Boost option showing up in the
mic properties under Levels.

I tried both front and back mic ports on the computer. Is there a way to get the Boost option to show up?

 

[Problem] No mic boost option?

I have Logitec G35 I use, it only connects via USB. The drivers for it allows a microphone level adjustment, but my sound options in Windows 7 does not have a microphone boost option as I did back under Vista. If you connect the mic through the jack, you plugging it into the MB or do you have a jack connection on the case? Your first pic for the GameCon 780 doesn't look like it's actually being used as the mic.

Make sure your audio/mic levels are up in the program you're using to chat. I mainly use teamspeak, you can adjust the Capture level of your mic in there to make it more or less sensitive. The few games I play co-op over Steam, sometimes I have to make sure any in game setting for the mic/chat audio is turned up as well.

As odd as it sounds, my last headset had USB and cabling for 3.5mm for the mic/audio (don't remember the make/model of it). I found that the mic wouldn't work correctly if both the USB and 3.5mm were plugged in at the same time. I could either plug in the audio & mic via the sound on the MB or I could use just the USB.
