Mic volume probl

hi, i have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.. i never really wanted to use a mic on it until now. I plugged it in and spoke on Teamspeak. The other poeple say sound comes out, but the volume is really really low. I tried searching for a mic boost, but the option wasn't in the sound settings in the control panel. I also can't find the mic volume controller. Is there anyways to get my mic volume to go up? Btw, i am running Vista. Help is appreciated.

I have said card, and it has no mic boost.
I got the boost to work via windows registy.....see thread.
It worked for me, but it seems some have problems with it.
Take care if you try it, and back up registry first.

Mic Volume Too Low

Hi,
My mic volume is too low, it seems to be working from the inside of my mac so every key is higher than my voice and my trackpad clicks too. I've searched here and there is no solution for this. Yet... I uninstalled Podcaster (Livestream software) to see if that's the problem but it's not.

I did that and it didn't work, also I notice Skype auto adjusts my volume, so everytime somebody elses talks it goes down, but doesn't go back up after they end. But it's still low, to talk I have to get closser to the keys to talk through them I guess.
In Facetime is just low, volume is not adjusted.

The mic volume is too high when calling with an earphone without mic

There are a common problem on the mic volume when calling with my earphone (TF-10 pro without mic). The mic volume seems like turned to speaker mode, so all the background sound has also captured. Therefore, I would like to clarify that it is a common problem or not.

nobody has the same issue with me？

Auto-Adjust disabled; mic volume still adjusts.

I have the volume auto-adjust turned off on Skype. Yet the mic volume still automatically adjusts in skype. I often run two instances of Skype. On both accounts, I have the Volume Auto-Adjust option disabled. I have even gone into my computer's hardware settings, and disabled the setting that allows applications to take exclusive control of the microphones I use. Whether the mic is built-in, or USB, Skype still automatically adjusts its volume. I've tried three different microphones and it automatically adjusts all of them. I use Windows 7, 64. Skype is up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Razer Megalodon. I have used it for a couple years just fine with Ventrilo, Mumble, Raid Call, Teamspeak 1 & 2, others, AND Skype. No problems, until my most recent re-install of Skype. I had Skype uninstalled for several months because i wasn't playing the game(s) that my online friends used Skype as a Voice Client. I recently started playing again, and reinstalled Skype (latest Installer). Now it seems my Microphone Level in the System Sound Options panel (Open Sound Devices> Recording> Microphone Properties> Level) gets auto-managed regardless of the settings in Skype. This is brand new behavior on my system and only happened after installing Skype. It seems to lower the Mic Level in my system even when Skype is closed (R-Click skype in Notification Area> Quit... Then I check Task Manager for Skype in Processes and in Services> End Task/Process Tree if still running). Every time i try to check the way it works in my other voice clients and in the "Microphone Setup Wizard" in windows, the Auto-Leveling behavior is there, even when disabled/turned off in ALL other Microphone using programs including Windows. When i Adjust Skype's Microphone Level from Max to 75%, i can watch the System's Microphone Level drop to 0. When i move the Skype Microphone Level to 0, then move the System Microphone Level to 2 (yes two) it jumps Skype's Microphone Level to Max. Yes, i have disabled any and all "Application Control / Exclusive Mode" options in Windows and all my Voice Clients including Skype. With a little digging, anyone reding this can find that there are settings on the Headset as well... again, i have been using this headset for years without issue, i know how to set it up. As you can imagine, it makes my voice either too soft/muffled to hear, or overpowering with reverb/echo/feedback. As mentioned before, this is NEW behavior since the latest re-install of Skype, and it is affecting my entire system and other Voice Clients now, wheather Skype is running or not. I hope this behavior is not intended by design. I understand the need for Auto-Leveling for those who can't be arsed to learn how their PC works beyond the "Push the Power Button Crowd," however to force those who know how to use a PC (built mine from scratch) and manage their settings properly to use this Auto-Leveling by making it "Always On" is no less than insulting. Please, Please!, tell me this is an accidental side effect and not another intentional "Dumbing Down" tactic by MS.

Low mic volume today, was fine yesterday

I have an alienware laptop that I had just recieved for Christmas. Friends and I have been playing games while talking via Skype for a few weeks, and everything has been fine.
Today, when we went to play, my three friends told me that my mic volume was incredibly low. I checked all my settings, everything is maxed as far as I can tell, and absolutely nothing was changed in between the last time we played and now. (I literally turned my laptop off the last time we played, and powered it back on to this issue)
I can answer any questions.

i am suddenly having this problem as well.
i have tried trouble shooting this problem many ways but it never quite works. i will list what i have done so far.
1) tested with another mic. same effect
2) maxed the mic volume in the skype settings
3) tested with another audio recording software. mic still works great
4) tried resetting everything i could think that would help (computer, skype, skype settings)
5) when i tried resetting skype settings by going into appdata and changing the skype file into Old_Skype forcing skype to reload its settings, it would appear to work wonderfully when i started up the software. it would walk me through the setup settings and the bar that shows mic volume was going up to my voice as it normally does. then after setup and i get into a test call, my mic is back to sounding incredebly quiet.
6) i went into sound setting and tried many combinations concerning mic boost which was already up, tried disableing software setting override, tried disableing all sound effects. all still nothing.
i am using a turtle beach x12 but that shouldent be the problem because a logitech i have is having the same problem. i am running on windows 8.1 i have tried skype calls with friends they all say my mic is very quiet. much much quieter than normal, even when yelling into the mic. if i think of anything else you may need or if you ask for it i will add to the post.
thank you all
Edit: after more testing i may have discovered the problem. skype is only detecting my onboard mic and is trying to use that (im using a laptop). how can i get skype to detect my turtle beach headset? other programs seem to just fine
Edit 2: disreguard the first edit. when speaking into the mic in a way that the on bord mic wouldn't be able to pick up, skype got the sound i was sending into my headset mic. still quietly but somewhat louder because i was closer to the mic on the headset

Mic volume, ALSA and X-Fi issue

This is probably a driver issue but I wanted to check if anyone here has found a solution/workaround.
I have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer card and it works quite well now with Alsa using the (still) recently released ctxfi driver from the AUR (on x86_64, if that makes any difference). I bought a really cheap analogue microphone a week ago just to have one around (apart from the mic of an old broken headset). When I connect it to the card and turn up the mic volume on the capture panel of alsamixer, I can hear everything through it very clearly while the control is still in the green zone. If I push it up all the way, the input is very loud and I get a lot of background noise.
The problem is that in Audacity and when using arecord, the capture volume is really low (just a whisper) (Yeah, I've selected "capture" on the mic control in alsamixer). I can get better sound if I turn up everything in alsamixer, but then I have the sound blasting in my ears while recording. From what I can tell, input and output channels are "linked" with this driver. Normally you would have one control for mic recording volume and another one for mic playback volume so that you can boost the input only. If I go to the "all" panel in alsamixer, it shows a master out and a master in slider, but adjusting one adjusts the other, etc.
Is there any workaround to this? Does anyone know what's going on with ALSA? Their site still says that they've only received the card specifications. It doesn't even mention that the drivers have finally been open-sourced.
If anyone is using OSS with an X-Fi card, do you have this issue as well? Has OSS already incorporated the open-sourced drivers?

My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5

My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5. Can anyone help me?

Thanks, daniel.early79!
I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

IPhone 3GS mic volume

Hi,
Any idea how to (or is it possible) to adjust the mic volume on the 3GS? My callers have been complaining that I'm talking very softly, they can hardly hear me, even when I'm almost to the point of shouting. I switched back to my Sony phone and it's ok. Mic volume became worse when I use my Motorola H710 bluetooth headset with the 3GS.
Any help?
Thanks.

Good idea, but i'm sure apple doesn't allow applications to access something like that... i too have a major problem with volume being super quiet on speakerphone and earpiece phone. Even at full volume it is hard to hear people even when i am somewhere quiet, forget being able to hear people if i am somwhere even slightly noisy!
Phones should be designed so that when you are at mid volume it is good for 90% of all situations, turning it way up or way down should only be required for very rare noisy/quiet situations. Running at full blast all the time is crazy....

Mic volume settings (easy one im su

So I have the sb extreme music and have been pretty happy with it. Now I am trying to set up my mic in gome mode so I can use voip in BF2 but I am a little confused in the mixer setting.
So I pick my source as my mic then un-mute it and left the volume at default 38% +20db checked, but then on the right there is rec and I have that un-muted and at 00% +20db checked.
So I just don't know what the difference between mic volume and rec volume is. I would think they are the same thing but then having two options wouldnt make sense.
So whats the difference and then what is the best way to go about tuning your mic?

bump. No one can help me?

Lumia 920 Sennheiser CX 680i mic and volume proble...

Hi all
I just got a pair of Sennheiser CX 680i. They are iPhone compatible but I didn't know that they only partially work with my Lumia 920.
The play/pause, skip forward and backward are working fine. But the mic and volume don't. I read that it's because apple products don't uses the AHJ standard.
I would really like to be able to use the mic and vol control. Is it possible to buy some kind og adapter? Or are there any other solutions to the problem?
Hope you have the answers out there...
