Title: Microphone help.
Post by: Panos on May 31, 2013, 01:20:29 pm
This has nothing to do with c-rpg, but I really need help, I`ve spend at least 5 hours yesterday but didnt find any help.

Yesterday I bought a new headset, the thing is, that the microphone volume is really low, and on top of that, my mic transmites an annoying bass sound.

I tried everything, unistalling realtek hd audio drivers, updating them, updating TS, googled it, everything!

I think that the problem lies here.

As you will notice, the record bars, are all greyed out, googled how to fix it, but came to a dead end.

I`m so desperate, that I even let Phase try to fix it with Team Viewer, and I ended up watching hentai porn with him   :lol:


I know we have some computer wizards here!!!

Check windows setting for microphone volume level - I CANT DO THAT, BECAUSE REALTEK MANAGES THE MIC VOLUME, AND AS I POSTED IT`S GREYD OUT
Disable stereomix - ALREADY DONE
Check if it's plugged in alright - IT`S OK


I uploaded a small test recording, to give you a taste of my problem

Can you move the volume slider under "Record" on the Realtek interface? Looks like the volume is set to half there for inbound. Can't see on screenshot if it's interactable or not.

Thats the balance slider, I don`t think it has anything to do regarding the volume, anyhow, i turned it to max. Gonna give it a go.

Will try and do that.

Oh, then the one under the balance slider, the big button with + and - on the side. That should be the volume, no? Though it does look like it's maxed already.

I would also try switching from front to back panel, if your mic is plugged in front.

It`s already maxed out.

And I already tried both jacks, I don`t think it`s a hardware proble, since the mic is working, what I believe is that the mic is picking up sounds from the earphones and transmits them.

I had a very similiar problem when i bought a mircophone for Strat. battles  and i needed days to find a solution. I am not sure if I am helping you, but thats how i get my mic. working.

I use a Lenovo PC which comes with an "onboard soundchip". That soundchip needs a special driver from Lenovo for working probably , but when I installed Win. 7 on my computer, a Windows sound driver was installed over the Lenovo driver without my knowledge. That results in a similar output signal you have. So i replaced the the Windows sound driver with the newest Lenovo sound driver and suddenly my mic. was workable.

So if you use an "onboard soundchip", maybe it helps to visit your computers (or motherboard) manufactor homepage and look for the newest sound driver.
