layarion Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 i have the same problem, latest firmware. windows 10, and i'm very savy with these kinds of things. so when i say the mic is too quiet, it means you should not buy these, and i'm returning mine since this problem is at least months old. i wanted to give you guys a chance but pepole can't hear me, i can't hear me in voice recordings, and so on. returning these first chance i get, shame because i got them for $90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic is working fine if you actually turn it up in the software.. I have gotten reports from guys on teamspeak , skype and so on that i'm TOOO loud.. aka, it's an issue on your side :).. not the headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i know for a fact that if i'm too loud (I'm quite quiet in my normal voice) and you're too quiet it's one of the following reasons: 1. You haven't turned up the mic. 2. You whisper into the microphone and expect it to be able to pick it up. 3. You haven't bend the mic closer to your mouth. 4. You have a broken headset..

IstBarP Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 how about this layarion goes and returns his mic. and we end the whos right and whos wrong. I just wanted people to know that it's not the headset in general as he described in his first post.. It's a faulty unit (probably), but still .. Didn't want people to get the wrong idea based off of his "review" of a bad sample. :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavellM Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I too am having all my friends say my mic is very quiet. I have bent the mic so that I'm almost swallowing it just to get some audio from it. I have everything in Windows and CUE up on MAX and yet its super soft :( PS. Mine is like P4 in this thread: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=149607 Yet its still bad, and now it just picks up my breathing instead too.

Sparra Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm having the same problem as well. I have it turned up all the way in both CUE and on Windows (I'm running Windows 10) and the mic is super super quiet unless I attempt to eat the darn thing while talking into it. Is there any way to boost up the microphone volume? I can deal with background sound leaking in a bit if it means I can actually be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Try the headset on another computer with and without CUE installed. Does the microphone volume change or is it still the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detonator Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Here the same problem, the microphone is too quiet on Windows 10. In Windows 7 test it is a bit noisy. but I use only Windows 10 It would be nice if a new software is that resolves this issue. If it is not resolved, I will probably have the headset will return..

Toasted Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Do you have the Realtek drivers installed? if you do, temporarily uninstall it and see if anything changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svaltos Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi guys, i have the same problem on Windows 10 but with the Corsair Gaming VOID USB. I think the problem comes from windows, i tried to change drivers but it does not really work ... I wiil try to use a voice amplifier software to see if it works better :sigh!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 @Detonator By noisy in Windows 7, is the microphone volume fine as in its picking up a lot of noise in the environment? Have you tried the headset with/without the CUE drivers? @svaltos Can you try the headset on another computer with and without the CUE drivers? Are there any differences?

Yokuz116 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I am also having this same problem since upgrading to Windows 10. I hope a fix comes out soon, because, you know, Corsair has an obligation to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svaltos Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 @Toasted i try with another computer on windows 10 and the problem are the same ... @Yokuz116 I managed to slightly improved the power of the microphone through a voice processing software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Chris Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Could you guys provide which software you're using for your calls? Since it seems like it's only affecting Win10 users, I'll try to see if it could be replicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blandin Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Could you guys provide which software you're using for your calls? Since it seems like it's only affecting Win10 users, I'll try to see if it could be replicated. I'm under windows 7 and having the same issue. -Corsair void USB -Firmware is 0.12 (and I tried to update it) -Software says 1.15.36 (had 1.14.xx with same results, updated today to this) I'm using teamspeak 3 and pushed the mic volume to max, tried with or without the automatic voice gain control in teamspeak. And with or without the AGC checked in the device. But the mic feedback is really low too, so I don't expect it to be louder elsewhere. I can't really hear me in the feedback unless I try to make noises in the mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeleas Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Windows was showing a single bar when I looked at it for mine, but I was able to record with reasonable levels in Audacity. I wonder if the Windows output bar is showing the level before CUE does anything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cha0sBreaker Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Anything on this? Im not having a real problem with mic volume but I do wish it would be able to get more levels from it, since it is more quiet than any other mic I've tested and the only way to get +/- 10 db is from eating the mic basically, it's still a great headset tho.

Scalptrash Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Just purchased the wireless Void yesterday and immediately experienced the same issue. Quick Google search got me here and I see no updates since February and none from Corsair since 12/15. Updated firmware to latest, verified Windows and Cue are set to maximum recording level for the mic, no luck. Friends on Teamspeak can't hear me unless I talk very loudly. Came from Corsair H2100 which was perfect. They advertise the Void to be better in every way, but so far it is essentially useless. Will have to return, unfortunately, unless someone has a magic fix. These should be plug and play for 95% of users. Tweaking, adjusting settings or levels should not be required. Firmware I understand, but these should have never been released to the public as is. Explains why they are readily available at a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ananym Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yep. Remarkably quiet, even at a reasonable mic position. Using skype on windows 10. All levels 100: CUE, Windows, Skype. This is silly. If no fix is forthcoming, will I still be able to return it having discarded the packaging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insonic Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 i also have the same problem, regardless which programm i use (Skype, TS, Screencast-o-matic) ....WIndows 10 Pro 64 bit and a Void Wireless The mic has to be at the exact right position for 134% to bring a reasonable volume. UNfortunately i cant send it back because the first weeks i did not use the mic. i would highly appreciate it, if a further update could bring a volume gain boost option.. actually this "de-noise-feature" is absolutly inacceptable for a headset with a price wich is above 120€...to be honest i got table mics for around 5-10 € with a higher mic-gain than the Void Wireless...

Shadows_of_Fire Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 My onboard microphone is about five times the volume of the headset microphone. The speakers work fine, but the mic volume is just a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
