Microphone low.

[Jfreun1]

Rainbow Six Siege does not use the dongle/DAC that comes with the HyperX Cloud 2. Therefor the microphone volume for Rainbow Six Siege is very low. I tested this when I went in CS GO had a friend listen to me. I could adjust my Mic volume with the dongle and he could hear me perfectly. However, when I jumped into a game of Rainbow Six Siege, he could not hear me at all. I tried adjusting my Mic volume with the dongle and it did not make a difference. I have all of the in game settings turned to 100 and still the same results for Rainbow Six Siege. The worst part is that HyperX is selling this headset with the game.

It is plugged in via a USB in the motherboard.

1. Does another mic work?

Try updating drivers

Why the heck is the screenshot in Windows 10 but the video is in XP?

No.

 

• Unplug all other USB devices, plug headphones and mouse (assuming your mouse is USB too), then try to adjust the volume (SOURCE)
• Reinstall audio drivers
• Uninstall 'VIA HD Audio' (if you have it) (SOURCE)
• Try a different headset (this one should fix it, but you'll have to buy a headset if you don't have an extra)
