MkII microphone really quiet

I have had this problem since I bought them. The microphone is really quiet, even when I have windows recording level and mic boost set to max. I'm using the front panel slots (Realtek HD audio). How can I set the recording volume higher? Is my headset broken?
And yes, the headset is Fatal1ty MkII

Try the back panel, maybe the front panel isnt working well.

  • MSI P67A-GD65 Microphone really quiet

    I didn't want to have to resort to posting my question on the forums, but it's really my last resort, I have looked everywhere, and tried a lot of suggested solutions, but it just seems that nobody has an answer for me. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and I just recently purchased my P67A-GD65, everything works amazingly, even when it comes to the onboard sound, except for, well, the microphone. I have hooked up my microphone on the front panel of my case, connected to my motherboard through the HD audio connector on it, and it is extremely quiet. I never had this issue before, my microphone's volume has always been acceptable and I find it extremely weird that I have to boost it by 20db to even be remotely audible. The issue isn't that my mic doesn't pick up audio at all, it's the fact that I have to be right next to it for it to actually pick up audio, which is a hassle, since I have a desktop mic. Does anybody know of any ways to increase my microphone's volume without adding boost, as the boost adds unnecessary and annoying static? Thanks beforehand!

    Kinda sad, since I've gone through three different desktop microphones, and they all do exactly the same thing. I do not want to get a headset, and I actually contacted Realtek about the problem, but they haven't replied either. Looks like I'm either going to have to get a dedicated soundcard, or a headset.   

  • The sound on my iPod touch is really quiet, really annoying!

    The sound on my iPod touch is really quiet, and i have to have the volume up at least halfway just to be able to hear it, but once I get a notification, it goes back to normal, but only until I either go into the app, unlock my iPod or change the song. It started a while ago when I was playing a game and the game crashed. Ever since then it has been really quiet. It's not the headphones because I tried them with my computer and they worked perfectly fine.

    Try the standared fixes
    - Reset. Nothong is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Delete the app that may have caused the problem.
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPoc

  • Right Channel REALLY quiet on one of my AP Express units

    I have no idea why and it's driving me nuts. Tested with three different cables - all analog and the same results. Actually, one of the cables produced the opposite results making me think it's color coded backwards.
    I've seen posts on here where an AP Express stops sending one channel, but never one that sends it really quietly. It seems like it would be all or nothing. It's ridiculous, but I combed through everything looking for a balance setting and couldn't find one, but who knows... did I miss it somewhere. Volume is perfectly balanced when I plug an iPod into the cable, so it's not a component or speaker, etc.
    I guess I should try a hard reset and then exchange it if it's still messed up.

    Hello leonie,
    This is what I see, when I try to open up my aperture :
    I can't do anything else but quit...
    Is there a crashlog with the error panel?
    I'm sorry I don't understand exactly what you mean by that...
    For your questions, I did not install any new/other software recently, just uploaded some music or photos via different platforms, from the internet to my computer. But I did not had the time to import them in aperture. And I did not use any maintainance program in the last year ! I guess that the very big majority of my aperture photos are JPEG, and it might be that there is a few PNG but that's it... And my (38,8 GO) library is located only on my MBP. And I have the 3.4.3 version of aperture
    Thanks a lot for your help !

  • Good Output signal strength but really quiet in headphones.

    I have my output set to zero and and its registering as a strong outsput signal. However, I cannot get a good volume out of my headphones. It's really quiet. Any ideas?

    Ah...!
    your make and type of headphones is...
    ...and your audio interface is... and your amplifier is...or your mixer...
    and they are set at...
    cabled to and connected with...
    but...
    wait...!
    I can (vaguely) see something! The headphones are plugged into the send output jacks! And the send level is at -∞! That must be it! Or... is that just a memory?

  • IPhone speaker broken/really quiet

    I bought my iPhone from someone I know, but now the speaker doesn't work/is really quiet (for phone calls etc) unless its on loudspeaker, would I be able to go to an apple store to get it fixed even though I won't have a receipt etc?

    Apple doesn't fix phones.  If there's no sign of tampering, you can purchase an out of warranty exchange for $149

    The sound on my Iphone 4 is really quiet and muffled, i have the latest update and have restored it but it is still the same, can anyone help?

    Through the headphones or through the speaker?
    Have you consistently played sound through the speaker at a high volume with a lot of bass?
    Have you tested it with multiple apps/songs/movies?

  • Microphone goes quiet even with Auto Adjust off?

    Hello,
    Lately whenever I join a group call people say my microphone seems to be quieter than usual. To fix it I just go into my microphone propeties in Sound and re-adjust my microphone volume to between 70-85 Its definately not the mic as it was still occuring when I was using my built in microphone.
    I'm currently using a Samson Go Mic with the Skype Windows Client on Windows 8.1.
    Could it possibly be a hardware issue or is there something more wrong?
    My current settings are attached
    Sorry if this issue has already been resolved but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere

  • Microphone too quiet in Windows 8.1 all volume settings maxed out.

    Hello,about a two months ago I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 and after that, my microphone in Skype doesn't hear me unless it is maxed out and I am shouting. It works without problems in Windows/other applications (Windows Sound Recorder, Teamspeak 3, Portal 2 ingame voip, ...) So my specifications are following:Windows 8.1 Pro 64bitSkype 6.16Headset Sennheiser PC 360 http://www.alfacomp.cz/php/product.php?eid=105HK5000000000ZFKMotherboard Asus P8Z77-M Screenshots of my settings are attached  And here is what i tried to doo:1) Updated Skype and alter reinstalled Skype.2) complete uninstall and install of Skype according to this https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10634/how-can-i-completely-uninstall-and-then-reinstall-skype-for-windows-desktop3) tried different driver versions (latest version for W7, W8 and W8.1) from here http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77M/HelpDesk_Download/, latest available from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/ (version 6.0.1.7246) and even these which Windows Update installed.4) Tried Skype App for Windows 8 (enabled permissions for microphone and webcam)5) Tried different microphone.6) Chatted with Skype support and went through their checklist of settings to make sure I didn't forget anything Any help would be appreciated. 

    i am having the same problem here is what i tried 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

  • 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.

  • Help. The audio of my footage goes really quiet when dragged into Premiere Pro timeline

    Hi there,
    Basically, I conducted an interview and the audio sounds loud when I play it through the top left editing window on Premiere, but when I drag it into the timeline it goes quiet. I go on audio gain and it says the peak amplitude is set to -12 for example. Any explanations what is going on/how I can improve the audio?
    I tried compressing the audio, which does make it louder, but it also increases the sound of the background traffic noise and makes it sound strange.
    Please help.
    Cheers,
    Jake

    Just as an experiment add the fill left audio effect to a clip on the time line, does that make it louder?
