    USB Headset has no "Microhpone boost" option


    Hello,


    I wanted to seek help with my problem not being able to see "Microphone boost" option...

    I *do* have that option, but that is only available without the USB Adapter which i'm using to connect my headset into.

    I'm using HYPERX CLOUD II HEADSET.

    Any ideas? Thanks a lot,

    Nevo.

    :)

    USB Headsets Do Not Have a Boost Option?

    I use a Corsair VOID Wireless headset. My microphone is too quiet. In my device settings, I have "Levels" set to 100%. In Corsair Utility Engine, I have the input set to 100%. In Discord and in my Games, I have the input set to 100%. But it is still too
    quiet.

    Recording Device Properties is supposed to have a "Microphone Boost" in the Levels tab.

    So where is it?

    From what I've read, USB microphones do not seem to have a boost option. Why is the option gone? How can I get it back? If I can't get that option, how am I supposed to make myself audible?

    A few things I have done, before people start suggesting the obvious:

    • I have already turned my microphone input volume up as high as it will go in the "Levels" tab. I will flip a table if somebody suggests that I should simply "turn up the levels in Recording Device Properties."
    • I have checked Realtek HD Audio Manager. Realtek does not recognize my headset, as it is a USB headset. Realtek only manages audio coming in through the audio jacks on the back of the PC Chassis. There are no input devices shown in Realtek HD Audio Manager,
      and Realtek drivers have nothing to do with USB microphones of any type, not excluding the USB headset I am using.
    • I went so far as to go into the device manager and Clicked the Administrator "Change Settings" button in the properties window for my headset. I browsed the list of available drivers on my computer and changed my driver to "USB Audio Device," then restarted.
      This solved zero problems, and it also removed all functionality of Corsair Utility Engine. I rolled back the drivers and reinstalled the firmware of my headset to fix that new issue.
    Please help.

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue USB Headset has no "Microhpone boost" option :p

  4. USB Headset has no "Microhpone boost" option

    Headset USB not recognised Win 10

    This is what the Device manager is showing me when i expand the USB list, The issue is i do not know where my headset is on this list, i have 5 USB cables going into my computer, one of which is the headset, but when i remove it and put it back in, there
    is no change to this page, even when i scan for hardware changes. if there is a general driver for all USB's then i would install that but im not sure there is. i have turned the option on to show hidden devices, just incase it was there, but no luck.
