If it is still too quiet after adjusting these settings OR if the white noise (a background hiss or hum) is too loud you may be better off purchasing a simple USB adapter like ours. you'll likely run into noise problems at values over +10dB. We suggest starting at +5dB and increasing it slowly. Keep in mind adjusting the pre-amp may introduce unacceptable high levels of white noise at high values. Step seven: Begin adjusting the mic pre-amp located in the screenshot below until your mic is at the level you want it. Step six: Make sure you have selected the mic from the top right drop down. Step five: Run the Configuration Editor file Step four: Reboot as many times as it tells you to! In this case we're using the Antlion USB, which shows up as C-Media USB Audio Device. Step three: Select Capture Devices as the tab and then check whatever you've plugged your mic into. Step one: Download Equalizer APO from the link above. You can read other guides that go over adjusting EQ settings and other fun stuff. While this program can do a lot more, we're going to focus ONLY on boosting the mic pre-amp. Or maybe you only really need +5dB, what then?Įnter Equalizer APO, a free program on Source Forge located here: However, some systems only have a volume setting and no boost. If you plug in your ModMic and the volume just isn't loud enough, you can often add increments of +10dB of boost and still have it sound pretty good. Even high end soundcards sometimes neglect the mic input, focusing all their attention on the headphones and surround sound abilities. Some provide the full 5 volt plug-in-power like they should, others simply don't.
You read you can boost the mic gain but you can't find a setting or the settings you have add too much white noise. This guide will walk you through a possible solution!Įvery audio input is different. So you have a ModMic but it is too quiet, even at max volume. We've got a new post that covers mic boost while simultaneously reducing background noise.
