How to boost your microphone volume
Sometimes, a microphone or microphone input
may have a very low volume. A way to solve this is to turn
on the Microphone Gain function available on some
sound devices. Here is how to turn this on:
|
1. Double click the volume control
widget in your system tray. (It may be another color
than yellow)
If it is not in your tray, open the Windows Control
Panel, choose the Audio tab and select
the Sound Playback Volume
button.
|
 |
|
|
| 2. In the Options
menu, select Properties. |
 |
|
|
|
3. In the Properties window,
select the Recording radio button.
4. Under the Show the following
volume controls list, select all
listed components and click OK.
|
 |
|
|
| 5. In the Options
menu, the Advanced Controls item should be checked. |
 |
|
|
| 6. Under the Microphone
device, you will now see an Advanced
button, click it. |
 |
|
|
|
7. Select (or if needed unselect)
the Microphone
Boost check box.
The Advanced button is sometimes found
under the "Playback" section of the audio
properties. This depends on your computer manufacturer.
