Realtek Microphone input too low

[dimitrisch47]

My laptop's microphone has too low input that even with +30 dbs I sound like I am whispering.I have reinstalled realteks drivers 3 times. When I don't have a driver installed and it is working with the Microsoft driver it is better but still not the best it can provide.I am currently using it with equalizerAPO and +28 in the pre amplifier .I'm pretty sure this isn't a good solution so can someone provide me some help?

Thank you in advance,
Dimitris

Do you have any enhancements enabled in Windows Recording devices? (Disable them, if so.)

If it's not a really crappy mic, it could be defective - or something is physically dampening audio input.

Yes I have disabled everything!It may be a shitty mic but it happens when I connect an 3.5 mm mic too.. maybe its the soundcard?

It could be, but an external mic should yield SOME difference/improvement. And in whatever apps/programs you're using, you've got input settings dialed in? (E.g. auto input correction from Skype or Discord).

I fixed the problem by uninstalling realtek driver and using the Microsoft high definition audio driver!Seems Realtek [watch your language] up their driver haha. Thanks though I am looking for a cheap mic (under 60€)

Solution for someone who is having same problem!

-Device manager
-Sound
-RealTek High Definition Audio (right click)
-Properties
-Driver
-Rollback Driver
-Reboot
