My Mic is Too Quiet

[Labarr]

you have windoes xp, vista, or 7

it is that simple. i promise. if you have a creative sound card, check there for boost as well.

 

No offense, but you deserve this for such a smart-ass remark: if you "knew how to use a computer", you'd never ask anything, ever.

 

Ahem. The mic is fully turned up in steam, the game I am using it in, and windows. The microphone is right next to my mouth and I use my on board audio port.

 

Edit: XP

Go to

 

Control Panel > Hardware/Sounds> Manage sound devices

> Then look for a Micrphones property tab and then look for a "levels" tab and adjust the slider all the way up. Also when your going through these steps, make sure nothing is muted

 

And if that doesnt get you there, try this

Windows XP

 

Open volume control

 

options

 

properties

 

recording, then OK. change that slider.

Has it worked before?

My Mic is Too Quiet

 

We voted.. and decided that No it isn't "Too Quiet" we prefer it how it is. Please do not fix the "problem"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a serious note.. depending on the soundcard it may have a separate control panel that could need to be adjusted. Or you may just need a new Mic.. have you tried it on another computer?

didnt really have any suggestion for you but if its not a driver issue...or a plug issue return the damn thing!!

Well, nothing seems to be working. My only option left, I guess is to return the mic for a new one. Hopefully it won't be so quiet.

I had the same problem with my first mics ... Well, really all the mics I have used that are analog (minijack / stereoplugs)..

I have onboard as well..

 

I resulted in buying a USB headset instead.. Works like a charm, only with a little static, afaik..
