Windows 10: No Mic Volume Level Option Even After Updated Audio Driver Downloaded

I know there is many other people that have had this problem and for many the solution that worked was updating the Realtek High Def Audio Driver for their specific OS. So I downloaded versionV6.0.1.7874 directly from razer, and mic volume level it is still not showing up. I mean when I go to sound>playback>speaker>properties>levels the only level that is listed is the speaker output volume. I uninstalled and redownloaded the driver multiple times, trying it in safe mode multiple times as well, still not showing up.


I find it very important to have the mic volume level option, which controls mic monitoring, so that I get that feedback when speaking into my headset, so I really need a fix for this.


Any Suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Can't isolate line audio from mic input; audio driver not showing.

Excellent reply. I set Audacity as you suggest and it works. To my perfectionist mind, there's one flaw: with all volumes to max, the recording level is rather low, as the attached snip shows. Any ideas how to increase it? My previous Win 7 laptop allowed far more level than this, using a Realtek driver.

 

[Problem] No mic boost option?

This. Check volume levels of mic in your software, and adjust the capture level too. If the capture level is too high, it's not gonna pick up a great deal. Have you tried recording yourself in microsoft's built in sound recorder? Also check that the control panel for your sound driver has the settings checked, as I've seen cases where windows sound settings say the sound is fine, but the Realtek sound manager has the volume right down or muted and overrides windows settings.
