Hello there I am trying to start up my Youtube channel and I want high quality audio so a friend helped me out and donated his Blue Snowball USB mic to me.
I am Running Windows 7 64bit and I'm having an issue with my Mic audio.
When I record with my Mic I notice that its very quite compared to any system audio recorded. For instance If I am recording a game My game audio is WAY louder then my mic audio. ( I know I could use Sound mixer and lower the game audio)
I've tried recording the Mic audio a few different ways, I've tried with Dxtory into a separate channel and I've tried using Audacity to record my Mic audio. Either way its always the same result that the Mic audio is very quite.
I have my Mic about 9 inches from my mouth on a slight sideways angle. If I want the audio to sound Loud and "Full" I have to literally put my mouth against my pop filter.
Its weird one day I tried removing the USB cord and pluging it into a different USB jack and tried a few different things and The mic finally got as loud as it should be but then a bit later it was back to being quite again.
I have my Mic's volume set to %100 in the Recording devices panel so its not that...
I'm really lost as to why the Mic is so quite..
On a side note could a faulty ground either in my electrical outlet of PSU cause this? I only ask because I have been shocked by my case once or twice.
I should also note that I have uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drives both the MIcs and my mother boards realtek drivers a few times to no avail.
I'm begging for some answers here as Its driving me nuts.. I might try the mic in my laptop to see if its the electrical issue or just my computer or the mic or what..
I know this mic should be louder then this , there is no way it should sound so quite and shallow.
Thanks
