    Windows 11 mic will not pick up noise unless it's very close to my mouth.


    Hi, I have two different headsets and they both completely fine on the Xbox console so it's not the headsets, but when I'm on my pc my voice will be barely picked up unless my mouth is very close to the mic. I have never had issues with my mic being too quiet until an update about 2 months ago. Troubleshooting I have done a decent bit, I checked volume input and it is set at 100, I went into microphone properties, microphone is set at 100, and I set microphone boost to 30 Db temporarily and that didn't do anything. I checked if the audio drivers needed to be updated and they didn't.

    :)

    Headset mic is very quiet unless it is in my mouth

    I recently upgraded PCs which involved upgrading to windows 10 as well. I have found that my headset mic's volume is extremely low unless I am holding it literally in my mouth and yelling.

    I have tried reinstalling the realtek drivers multiple times, I have the mic volume and boost maxed out. I have tried the same headset on another computer and it works fine, I have tried another headset on my current PC and get the same results. A USB webcam
    seems to work fine, but any analog mics have the same issues.

    I have a MSI MPG 390M motherboard, Windows 10, and a Logitech G230 headset.
