Hey, I reinstalled Windows two days ago and with that came a problem where my microphone was so low to a point where my mates on Skype/Discord can barely hear me. I've turned the volume to 100 and even bought a new microphone but still the volume is really low. I have tried googling this problem but none of the googled answers worked because I have turned all the levels up and that is not the problem.

My windows version: 1909 (OS build:18363.752).

Did you leave it plugged in when reinstalled windows?

No I actually bought this after the windows installation. I had really old microphone and my friends told me they couldn't hear me anymore after the update so I figured the microphone finally died so I bought a new one, but this new one is extremely quiet as well.

I also see that it uses 2 cables...a type c USB and a 3.5mm Audio jack. Are both of those plugged in? The only other option is to contact Thronmax directly and see what they have to say.

Yes indeed, I don't think the problem is in the mic, but something wrong with Windows. Maybe it's the drivers but I've updated all the drivers so I have no idea.
There are no drivers for it....what drivers are you talking about? I concur that it's a windows thing.

OH...just out of curiosity, what does it look like in device manager? Are there any flags showing?

It only uses type USB to type C. I believe the 3.5mm audio jack can be used but it didn't even come with it. I believe it is if you want to use the microphone as a speaker. I still don't believe it is the microphone as the other microphone that I used had exactly the same issue.

I'm talking about Realtek audio drivers. Device manager tells me everything is working as intented. If I try and troubleshoot it says evertyhing is normal.

If the software came with any kind of a control panel, try switching on the equalisation device
