Hi guys, im using a Razer kraken USB, had it for about a year now. Mic was working perfectly with and without razer synpase to control mic volume and sensitivity. but today no matter my settings, mic volume just went down like a cpu from 5 ghz downclocking to 1 ghz. cant find any fix for it, is my mic broken or something? reinstalled windows and all my sound drivers, dont know whats wrong

What software did you use to test your mic, if it was skype, then look into settings and maybe disable the automatic volume control

I did that too, maxed mic volume. Tried Skype, online voice recorder, couldn't pick up my voice when my mix is 3 cm away from my mouth

Look at windows microphone settings maybe?

Rightclick sound and then recording devices, then properties when you have selected the right mic

Also make sure that it is the right mic.

Did you try disabling all other recording devices exept your own microphone, programs like skype sometimes gets those mixed up with the real microphone

If you've got an Ubuntu* live CD kicking around, or can make one, test it in linux.

If it works, then you know you've got a software issue, if not, then the microphone is to blame.

*other distro's are available

Eeh, by gum.
