Hp headset microphone is too quiet

Hello, I just purchased an HP H2800 headset and i am trying to use it on skype. The Microphone is too quiet. i tried to setup the Mic in audio settings on Windows, but it fails. Any suggestions?

Hi
I had the same issue with my Satellite U400 but on Vista. After updating the sound driver and BIOS the issue did still exist.
After searching a little bit here in the forum I activated the microphone boost and this was the solution! :)
1.Open the "Control Panel" (Standard view)
2.Click on "Hardware and Sound"
3.Click on "Sound"
4.Click on the "Recording" tab.
5.Mark the Microphone and then press on the "Properties" button.
6.Click on the Custom tab and set the check by Microphone Boost
Check this!!

Microphone volume too quiet only with skype

My microphone volume is extremely quiet during calls. This is not a problem with my headset since it works perfectly fine with any other communication or recording software. I have my microphone volume and boost set to max in the recording setting and I unchecked the automatically adjust microphone option in skype's audio settings. I've also tried re-installing my sound card driver but that did not solve the problem as well. I think my microphone stopped working with skype after version 7.0. I used to just simply use a much older version of skype (version 6.5) until recently Skype decides to retire all the older versions. So now I am stuck with a skype that no longer works.An interesting thing to note is that if I uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the microphone properties setting and then restart skype, my mic will be at normal volume for about a minute, then it will be extremely low again. If I restart skype again, the mic will work perfectly fine for a minute again. (I am not entirely sure why and I am not sure it works in a real call becuase I only tested this with the ecco/sound test service).Please Help!

Someone has posted this http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Help-Windows-10-Microphone-not-working/m-p/4076999#M361092 Please let us know if this fixed the microphone for you

Satellite U400 - Internal microphone is too quiet

I am running on Windows7 x64. I have downloaded latest sound drivers (4.98.6.61) and now is internal microphone very quiet although its volume is on max.
I had Vista x64 before and everything was ok. I have tried Vista drivers on Windows 7, but nothing changed - still quiet mic.
Thanks for an advice.

Headset microphone quiet

Hi, I'm using a Sennheiser DW Pro 1 (wireless headset with base station attached via usb) with my iMac. The microphone turns out to be too quiet. Mirophone volume is set to max.
Using the same headset attached to a telephone is fine.
Any ideas to improve?
Thx, Dietmar

Hi Len,
With many headsets and Cisco phones you need a different cord than what comes with the Headset (not unusual and usually pretty cheap $) It looks like the 2125 NC ships with the Cord Model# 8800-01 (Part#1003945) and with the 7960 you need Cord Model# 8800-02 (Part#27361101) The GN 2125 NCD-02 comes with the correct cord it looks like.
From this good reference doc;

Plantronics headsets which we use require a special cord as well :)
Hope this helps!

E531 - Keyboard not working / Microphone too quiet - Tastatur geht nicht / Mikro extrem leise

Dear Community,
after several problems with my Thinkpad E531 I am realy disappointed.
- since I bought the Thinkpad recently the microphone was to quiet. People can hardly hear me on Skype. I also tried to enhance the sound virtually but it does not make a chance realy.
- some of my keyboard keys are not working anymore, such as Printscreen, PageUp, PageDown, Delete.
- also faced problems with an SSD running with Windows 8 as it froze down regularly. Now I use Windows 7 and finally at least it does not freeze anymore.
What can I do about the microphone and keyboard? Thank you.
Hallo liebe Community,
ich bin langsam echt entnervt mit Lenovo.
Habe mir ein E531 vor kurzem gekauft.
- Bereits seit Kaufdatum ist das Mikro extrem leise. Skypen ist nahezu unmöglich. Selbst mit virtueller Verstärkung des Tons. Was kann ich hier tun?
- Tastatur funktioniert nur teilweise. Inzwischen sind die "Entf", "Druck", "Bild hoch", "Bild runter" - Tasten nicht mehr funktionsfähig. Habe Windows 7 neu installiert aber es hilft nichts.
- SSD-Festplatte fror mit Windows 8 regelmäßig ein. Daher auf Windows 7 umgestiegen. Mit Windows 7 geht es immerhin ohne einfrieren.
Was kann ich bezüglich Mikro und Tastatur tun? Habe schon Sony, Toschiba, HP und Dell Laptops ohne Probleme verwendet aber bei dem Lenovo weiß ich jetzt echt nicht weiter.
Danke.

My ringtone is too quiet

WHen I export my GarageBand files to a ringtone, they always seem to be quieter than the other preset ringtones. I am using v2.0.6 on an iPad mini with 1.3 GB left, 16GB total. Will there be a fix/is there a workaround? Also, I would like to be able to delete my previous ringtones w/o a computer.

If your phone is still under warranty, I'd make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
2) The ringer, even cranked up with an obnoxious ringtone, is way too quiet. If the phone is in my jacket pocket, or more then 15 feet away I will never hear it. In contrast, my husband's el-cheapo free cell phone rings and I can hear it through my whole home.
I find the audible rings to be very loud on the iPhone. If you're having problems hearing them, you may have a defective phone.

W100: speakers too quiet - fan too loud

Hello,
i am using the w100-10d and i am not amused about the loudness concerning the fan and
the speakers. The fan is too loud and the speakers are very quiet.
Is anybody there, who can give me some informations about the speakers and their configuration ?
In Windows 7 and in the Toshiba Conf. Panel the loudness is on max. level, but the sound is too quiet.
Perhaps Toshiba is estimating all users are using the headset ?
Thanks

This Libretto is an kind of tablet PC an small 7 display device I dont know what speaker loudness do you expect but you will not get the same loudness like on 15 notebook equipped with bigger speakers.
Furthermore the speakers are mono and not stereo.
By the way; the sound can be configured in control panel -> sound
Check if all volume controls are set to top.

Earbud microphone is too sensitive - other party complains

I just upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to a 5S. Now whenever I use my headset to talk to people they all say that it sounds like I'm typing on my keyboard with a sledge hammer.
I've done some testing and sure enough, the microphone on the headset is insanely sensitive. It's literally louder for the other person hearing my keyboard clicks than it is for me.
This happens whether or not I use the earbud headset that came with the iPhone 5, or my more traditional headset that I always use here at my desk. I don't know the model # of that, but I've been using it for years without complaint. It's a regular across the top of the head, padded ear speakers and mic on a flexible stem with a foam wind suppressor.
Is there any way to get into the settings of the headset microphone sensitivity?
Could it somehow be possibly related to the fact that this phone is in an Otterbox? I suppose the box could theoretically be blocking some sort of noise cancellation input on the phone itself. This box is heck to get off.
Hmm..... I see upon getting ready to his post that there's an update to the OS. I'm on 7.02 and there's a 7.03 available. One of the fixes listed is related to [Fixes an issue that could cause VoiceOver input to be too sensitive]. I wonder if that's the issue? Will post this message, update, and post back.
Thanks,
Paul

I've never had that problem with my first iPhone which was the 4 then the 4s then the 5 and now the 5s, but no offense to apple (my friends tell me that I'm a fanboy) I use the Bose MIE2 and I've beeen using it for 3 years now and love it.
It's an investment, but well worth it. I also use the Bose bluetooth headset series 2 and for noise cancellation the Beats studio. Again, all investments but no problems with those.
I apologize if this doesn't help you? Have you tried going to an apple store to let them know about your complaint?

It is possible to transmit voice from a Headset Microphone to Iphone5?

I am planning to run Yoga classes in the near future and will need a headset microphone so my class can hear me clearly. I would like to use my Iphone5 in a speaker dock and was wondering if I could transmit sound from a (preferably) wireless headset with built in microphone through to my iphone and out of the speaker dock?
Many thanks for any help.

Lg cosmos 2 downloaded music is too quiet

What could be the problem with music being too quiet, and how do I fix it? I literally can barely hear it when I put my ear right next to the phone.
Thank you.

Hi.
Thanks for replying. I received the phone in October; just had it replaced a couple of weeks ago because it wasn't holding a charge. Both phones do the same. No protective case or cover. Ring tones are nice and loud, phone "voice" is fine, I can hear my callers with no problem. It's just the downloaded music that is so soft I can barely hear it. I even tried moving a ring tone that was proven over to music folder to see what would happen. It was soft there as well. I've looked online for ideas but haven't found any help.

Audio clips too quiet at max volume

After putting audio from STP into an FCP project, some friends and I turned the volume all the way up in the audio editor window. Even after doing that, however, it's still way too quiet. Is there any other way to raise the volume so that the audio is loud enough?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.42 GHz Power PC G4 1GB DDR SDRAM

I have never liked that "duplicate the track" to make it louder method. When you duplicate the track, you're also duplicating the noise floor, making the background noise twice as loud, too.
If you've got the audio track open in Soundtrack Pro, use the compression plugin, or dynamics, or whatever they call it in Soundtrack (I use Cubase). Use that to bring the level up. What you'll also get with the compression plugins (not the same as video compression, don't worry about that) is it will bring the low level audio up and the high level audio down to even it out. It won't raise the noise floor as much because when audio drops below a certain level (set this right ABOVE your noise floor/room noise) it stops raising the low level audio. That way you have a more even level throughout the track. How does the mix of the announcers on the NFL on FOX always sound so good when it's live? Compression. Keep your levels in check.
So use the compression plugins to even out your sound, maxing out at about -1db. Export it.
Now, import that track into FCP and bring the level DOWN to -12ish.
Much cleaner and audio way of raising levels. Duplicating the clip to make it louder is not the way an audio facility would do it. It's a quick video guy way of doing it. It does the job, but not well.

The music on my iPod plays at normal volume but the voices are too quiet to hear

My iPod just started to play music at normal volume but the voices are too quiet to hear

If you confirmed it is not due to a problem with the headphones
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

6710 Navigator - Loudspeaker too quiet

The loudspeaker is ok in a quiet room with no background noise but you can't use it outside or while driving (i.e. places you actually NEED it) as it is way too quiet (yes the volume is turned all the way up!). This is not right. Other Nokia phones have way louder loudspeakers. All the music and video plays loudly at an audible volume but voice calls are useless.
Nokia Care have had the phone three times and can't fix it. They just keep saying the loudspeaker is working... Yeah it is "working" but it is not practical to use.
Very frustrated. All Nokia needs to do is put out a firmware update to resolve this. Its called a LOUDspeaker not a QUIETspeaker.
Anyone else had any luck?

Exactly the same issue here! Fully updated firmware. The loudspeaker is ok in a quiet room with no noise but you can't use it outside or while driving as it is way too quiet. All the music plays loudly at an audible volume but voice calls are useless.

Can not pick up sound through the Bluetooth headset microphone.

I use a Plantronics Bluetooth headset M55 connect new IPAD (IOS6.0), long press the voice dialing, SIRI from Bluetooth headset microphone can not pick up sound, still or IPAD comes with a microphone to pick up sound, SIRI does not recognize, but canfrom the earpiece of the Bluetooth headset to hear the SIRI feedback sound.Want to be able to solve this bug.

Same issue on my wife's iPhone 4S. I suspect it is related to the recent 6.1.2 iOS update (Note: I have a 3S and the update did not cause any issues).
I've tested both bottom and top mics on the 4S using video recorder and both mics work fine. Speakerphone and headset during calls also work fine. The issue is only related to the bottom mic while making calls. I can hear the caller but the caller cannot hear me. If I hold the mic very close to my mouth, the caller can hear a very low level signal.
The problem appears to be software related, not hardware.
