csemoses Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I've got the windows recording volume maxed. I can hear my voice clearly... it's just way too low. Using windows sound recorder, if i speak in a normal voice, it is clear but super quiet. This is with system volume down around 20%.... that's where everything else sounds right. If i crank the system volume, I hear my voice about normal, but everything else is way too loud. This would be OK if i was using this as a recording device. But i'm not. I'm using it as a communication device, and this does NOT work as one. It only works if the program i'm using (game, voip, etc) has a built in mic-boost that goes beyond what the windows system recording volume is. I honestly havent tried re-installing yet, since I got no errors and my voice is clear (just quiet) ... I will try it though, and post a reply in here.

csemoses Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 ok, so i re-installed the software. No change. So i just updated firmware on me new Corsair F120 SSD, and installed fresh windows 7 on it, installed the headset with the SW downloaded from this site, and it's still no change.

csemoses Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 there's another thread, i forget what it's called... but it has the solution for this problem. Running windows xp? not sure if this works. Windows Vista/7 it does. Go to the properties for your microphone / corsair usb headset, click enhancements tab, check Low Frequency Protection and Loudness Equalization. Hit apply, OK, OK, and you should be good to go.

Skunkworks Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks, but that's making no difference. To give an idea of how quiet it is, my Logitech Webcam Pro 9000's integrated mic is louder and clearer when I'm sitting 3 feet away. I really hope there are other suggestions, as I don't want to go through the dicking around of RMAing these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csemoses Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 i'd contact corsair, in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
