  2. How to raise microphone volume?

    Hi vesvespa, my name is Max and I'm an independent advisor.

    I suggest you check your microphone gain level. To do it, try the steps mentioned below:

    Right click on Speaker icon (Volume settings) on the Taskbar

    Choose Recording Devices

    Click on Microphone and open the Properties

    Finally, move the slider to choose the level. It will raise the Microphone and Microphone Boost option.

  3. Volume randomly spikes up to 100 % sometimes.

    Hello Beaver,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and we regret for the inconvenience.

    To be able to assist you better, let us know a few more details on the below questions.

    • What is the make and model of the computer you are using?
    • Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you referring to an external or internal microphone?
    • Is this a problem with Windows Sounds, Games, Audio/Video playback or all sounds when you say 'volume spike'?

    As an initial recommendation, boot the computer in safe mode with networking, and check if the issue still persist.

    Safe Mode With Networking:

    Safe mode is a troubleshooting option for Windows that starts your computer in a limited state. Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started. The words
    Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you're using. Follow the steps outlined in the below Microsoft Help link.

    Refer: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows
    10


    Once this is done, reboot the computer in normal mode and check.

    Write to us with the updated status and the required information for us to be able to assist you further.
