Mic input horribly low

[gedefims]

Hi LTT

Having some issues with my microphone.

I had a g35, with the same issue, low microphone audio om this same motherboard.

The g35 Worked just fine with my old pc.

So i thought it was my g35 being old - and i wanted to try something new, so i bought the sennheiser g4me Zero for an all In one solution.

Anyway the problem is the same, the mic volume is very low, even with the +30 boost.

Setup:

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO, Socket-1150 onboard Sound

Sennheiser g4me Zero microphone

The g35 uses some USB Soundcard, so it cant be the motherboard or?

Anyone else that have fixed something like this?

Do i need a new m/b, Soundcard or mic amp?

Hoping for some ideas/fixes! Thanks

This seems like it's definitely a software problem.

I see that you've been playing with gains but is the input sound itself maxed out?

Yes the input itself is maxed out.
The swap from g35 to the sennheiser also included a fresh install, bios Update and newest drivers from Asus.

Edit:
It is also the same if i uninstall the "realtek" driver and use the windows one, no difference at all.

Its a realtek glitch.

Its a realtek glitch.

 

That looks like a pretty old fix, is it still applicable for Windows 7 plus?
