Micriphone quiet

[Dreadfullink]

Hey Team

 

Im having this issue where my microphone even when it is by my mouth is still harldy picking up when tralking normally on the "test you microphone" section of windows audio settings. This is also effecting the Discord level where it would hardly pick up my voice even if i was talking normally with the microphone basically in my mouth. The Mico boost is at 100. When i test my mic on discord and it plays back to me it is fine and clear. yet test my mic still shows its hardly being picked up. 

 

I have searched for an awnser on google but they all say Mic boost or download somthing. This wasnt an issue for a good 6-7 months then it happened with my old pair of headphones that were plugged into the Mic and speak 3mil jack point. This new pair whitchi it is still happening to is USB.

 

attached images showing the differences. 

 

Please help

 

Thanks

Have you tried using the Razer software? Or updating drivers?

[Dreadfullink]

Honestly not much you can do aside from contacting Razer for help or if it's new return it and never buy a Razer product again

Discord comes with AGC enabled, it's at the bottom of that options screen. Does the volume drop back down after you turn AGC off? (Automatic Gain Control btw).

 

Also, go into the sound -> recording devices -> the mic -> properties -> advanced and uncheck allow apps to take control of this device, that may normalize some things. Also there may be other things in that menu you can mess with.

 

You can boost mic volume with EQ APO or a VST. Here are two tutorials that cover both:

https://antlionaudio.com/blogs/news/what-to-do-if-your-modmic-is-too-quiet (Using EQ APO).

 

I recommend the first tutorial, as adding mic bost can introduce background noise (which can then be filtered out). However, keep in mind the more severe that becomes the more it will degrade your audio... that said, if this is a razer mic you probably won't notice .
