Disabling exclusive mode did the trick for me! Thanks so much for making this video! :)

This is the first time I’ve ever commented on a video but I am because I am so grateful that you fixed my mike after years of frustration

Thank you! I was dealing with this issue for a while and this tutorial definetely fixed my problem

i cant move the scale

3 years later and still helping. The first "boost" thing worked for me, I just couldn't find it, thankyou.

Problem solved thank you

Oh myyyy god you just saved me. This tip was really effective in boosting my mic's volume.

THANKS SO MUCH MAN THIS REALLY WORKS

hey how did u get the boost option?

this dosent work

omg thank you, it fixed my issue

This help me so much man Thank you

This is very helpful, thank you.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

alas adjusting the gain up or down made no difference.

bro so very thanks . nice solution

thank you it worked :)

the mic boost option is missing for my headset idk why, and i cant change the audio format its greyed out

thank you so much so much time wasted just to find out windows turned down my mic level by its self.

thanks man, just got my computer upgraded and realized my mics sensitivity was out of whack, the first method of fixing it worked perfectly

recorded in audacity, it's very loud, but in system settings, the green meter is barely even turning green. it's hard to gauge how loud my mic is unless i do a recording test. boost is 30+ and at 100%, only 1 green bar is showing up when the whole thing should be turning green. it's happening with all my mics (webcam, headset mic, desktop mic) no matter what i use :( if i set it to 20+ and 80%, it SHOULD technically be the right level as I've done this in the past with my previous PC. this one simply refuses to cooperate. what could be the issue? tried all available drivers on the site (aorus gaming 7 op) all drivers have this issue.. i know it has something to do with the fact that gigabyte is using the sabre dac, which requires a custom driver from gigabyte, else, i've had no luck trying to obtain the raw realtek driver (downloading at 4kbps) and then times out and i can never obtain it -_-

OMG! Thanks so much! I have watched a million videos, and none of them showed me how to do this! Turns out my mic was at like 40%. Thanks!!! :D

Wow thus really helps first i had 4% volume and now 100% wtf

hello to everyone who's VRchat mic is insanely low

Thank you bro it worked

Thanks. I have an old Astro A50 headset that's no longer officially supported. For some reason the mic has been extremely low volume for awhile now, which I'm guessing happened with a Windows update. Anyway, the software you recommended worked perfectly.

I feel dumb af now
but thanks it worked

Again your life saver i just moved house and mic went quiet again Thanks bro

thank you bro, that was helpful

Thanks bro life saver

i love you bro

gg

thnx for the help it works

Thank you bro

hi i have a turtle beach headset plugged into a turtle beach controller and this did not work, my mic is so low everyone says they cant even hear what im saying, i tried all these methods and tested each one, none of them affected my mic volume.

Thank you so much. Bought Razer baraccuda X. Has a bad Microphone. This video did the work.
I kept my Gain on +6.00 and OMG.
I am no more getting flamed for having a potato microphone

if i haven t a boost level????

After doing this, my microphone is still quiet. What do I do?

Why did you change the channel config to stereo instead of leaving it mono?

You saved my life i love you

I did all the steps but after I restarted and download, my mic doesn't even work anymore and I don't hear it during my mic test. Then when I uninstall, my mic works again, but the volume is just low. I don't have a mic boost slider neither do I have an enhancements tab anywhere on my sound settings. Any clue why? I have a Logitech G533 too

There's no INDIVIDUAL option
This app sucks

tysm for doing this! i really appreciate it. this is the highest honuor i can bestow, one sub

Thank you so much dude my mic been broken for like a Year now and this fixxed it and now my friend don't have to turn their volume up to max in order to hear me this was a hug help thanks so much

it's stuck at 0 db and i cannot change it

Absolute savior, 2 years later and still the only actual working guide that doesn't just say "Hurr durr, right click your sound settings" thank you brother
