Void Elite Wireless Mic Volume EXTREMELY low

[Keito719]

Hello Everyone,

 

I love everything about my Void Elite Headset EXCEPT the fact that the mic volume is ridiculously low. I have searched the forums both here and reddit etc for a fix to this solution and have found posts of the same spanning the last 5 years. Given that it's now 2021, is there a solution to this problem yet?

 

Despite bumping all the input volumes I can even think to access, friends on discord and other chat platforms have all told me that my mic is extremely soft. If I eat the mic they can hear me at a "regular" tone when they turn me up to 200%. I have tried numerous fixes that others have posted, (updating firmware, disabling exclusive control, etc) but nothing seems to make a difference. Did I get a bad Corsair Headset? 

 

Does anyone have a fix/solution to this problem that doesnt involve me having to install another 3rd party program to further boost my mic? Otherwise, while I love my Corsairs, in a time where communicating with others digitally is becoming more and more important, Corsair is letting me down here and I am close to considering if I should return the headset!

Please advise!

Hello, yes, I have done this before and unfortunately it did not fix my issues.
