    Windows sound settings update - option to boost microphone removed?


    I have noticed after the recent updates that The dialogue box for sound settings is changed, specifically 'Device Properties' Under the microphone. Previously with 3.5mm jack/built-in microphones there was the option to boost the microphone by I think up to 30 dB in increments of time which I found helped lots with sensitivity for my voice dictation software. Can I presume that this option has been removed from Windows and if so can I ask why?

    :)

    I just tried a cheap $10.00 microphone here:
    Mibia M001 The #1 Rated Deluxe Wireless Microphone System, Lavalier Can be Used on all Phones, Karaoke, YouTube, Studio; Computers; Lapel Dynamic Mic Noise Cancelling Microphone: Amazon.co.uk: Musical Instruments

    and it shows the boost option!

    I'm a bit confused why that one will give me the boost option, but the Snowball ICE product wont

    Is it because the Snowball is USB and the other is using a 3.5mm jack?
    Or is it because the drivers used for the different products are different, and the Snowball just isnt allowing the boost?

    No "Microphone Boost" option in Windows 10


    Hello. As the title suggests, I am missing the "microphone boost" option on Windows 10.

    I had it previously with my SB Audigy sound card but after I made a switch to the X-fi Titanium, it has vanished. (All drivers are up to date).

    Confused by this, I switched back to the SB Audigy because I need the microphone boost option but now it is gone with the SB Audigy, with the drivers for it all up to date.

    I record videos and the microphone boost option disabled the hiss noise in the background of them but now with it gone the hissing is back and I can't record. I have the +20dB Boost option but if that is checked then the hissing noise is in the videos.

    Question is, can anyone help me get my microphone boost option back?
