Change the Microphone Volume in Settings
You can navigate to the settings for your microphone from the Windows Start Menu using the steps below.
Open the Start menu and click Settings. Select System. Choose Sound on the left side. In the Input section, pick a Microphone in the drop-down list if you have more than one. Click Device Properties. If you have a headset that includes a mic, the option is called : Device properties and test microphone. Use the slider to increase the microphone Volume.
You can then test your microphone volume level if you like. Hit the Start Test button and speak into the microphone. You’ll then see the volume level your computer recognizes for the device. Or, you can close your Settings.
Change the Microphone Volume in Control Panel
If you prefer to use Control Panel to adjust your microphone settings, this is an option too.
Open Control Panel as you normally would and click Hardware and Sound. Select Sound. Go to the Recording tab. Right-click the Microphone you want to adjust the volume for and choose Properties. Alternatively, select the Microphone and click the Properties button. Go to the Levels tab and use the slider to change the volume or enter a higher number in the text box to increase it. Click OK to close each pop-up window and apply the volume change.
