So, here's the deal for me, since this thread was Google's first hit for me.
Using Windows 7 x64, I have 3 mics. All of them worked on my old XP machine. One is in my webcam, one I put in the mic jack, and one is just a USB mic. I have to shove all of them in my mouth to get any sound recorded at all, and even then it's just a faint whisper in the background. Has anyone found a solution for this? |

I, too, am aware that this is an old thread but having searched for all sorts of things this thread comes up every time. I DID (eventually) find a solution that works for me. What I had to do was in the Realtek HD Audio Manager- I set the recording volume all the way to the left. Screenshot:

It's time for a revival. Thanks Google.
So, have the same problem with my mic on a desktop. Pretty much described above- it's audible for about 5 seconds on Skype then drops out for good until reset. Thought it was just the mic dying, but other mics had the same issue. Going to update Realtek and do this ^. Also, four more years! |

I had the same problem, after viewing the posts in this thread, and many others from searching around, I think I found the solution.
I did everything from turning mic volume/boost up, to muting and unmuting, 3 different headsets, which didn't help any of them. This just started recently, so I'm not sure why this worked. Going into my recording devices, I turned off the noise cancellation, and then went to the sounds tab, to the right of the recording section, and turned all sounds on (I had them turned off because the sounds got annoying). After doing those 2 things, my mic(s) started working properly, I even had to turn the boost down (lol) |

I know this thread is old but I finally managed to fix it. I had the exact same problem as everybody else where I had to scream into my mic for it to barely even work.

None of the above worked for me.
In the system tray, right click on the speaker and select "Recording Devices". Under the "Recording" tab, you probably see several MICROPHONE entries. Enable the entry that is currently greyed out. Then, disable the newly greyed out entry. Note: After I enabled the second entry, my computer did not recognize my microphone. Only after I disabled the newly greyed out entry was I able to record audio. Please do both steps. |

Microphone is too quiet - tried many solutions. This seems to be a problem for a lot of people using Windows 7 and there is no solid solution. I have 32 bit installed on both my laptop and desktop and on both the microphone level is too low despite enabling Boost Gain, tinkering endlessly with the sliders and options (such as CD Quality,... |
