Gregathor Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I have turned every mic setting I could find to max but people still have a hard time hearing me unless the mic is uncomfortably close to my mouth. Any suggestions for fixing this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yall have a wired version or a wireless version and what is your firmware version? I was testing a pre release wired version and the mic was overly sensitive. But my new wireless one is far less sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..AlLkNoWinG.. Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I use mine for CSGo in chat, Steam chat, and Skype without issues. What are you using to test the mic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Event Horizon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) My Void wireless black also has low mic volume with firmware 31.00. Edited September 1, 2015 by Event Horizon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarredMecha Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The mic is indeed fairly quiet. Hopefully Corsair implements some sort of software-based gain boost or something into CUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Chris Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi all, thanks for the feedback regarding the mic being too quiet. I've already logged this in with software team and we should be able to implement a higher mic ceiling in the upcoming CUE update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Event Horizon Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Sweet! Glad to hear this Chris from Corsair. We look forward to the update =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Chris Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 One resolution that I've been instructed to mention is to bend the mic closer to your mouth, this should help with Mic Volume levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarredMecha Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 One resolution that I've been instructed to mention is to bend the mic closer to your mouth, this should help with Mic Volume levels. Can the mic be bent? I feel a bit nervous about doing that, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stim0x Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Had this issue with the H2100, which is one of the reasons why I returned it (twice) in the end. I am having the same issue with the void wireless 7.1 on Windows 10. Microphone level inaudible unless the mic is up close. Hope this is resolved soon.

Corsair Chris Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Can the mic be bent? I feel a bit nervous about doing that, haha. We wrapped the wire (steel) with a Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), which is a combination of plastic and rubber to allow it to bend and keep the insides safe. At work I have mine bent like this much and we had our audio team do extensive testing to see the "optimal" position of the headset and came up with http://www.asktheramguy.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=22781&d=1441736311. The result of bending it 30° in ward towards the face was a 5dB improvement. But you can bend it more but at that point, the mic might pick up breaths and blows.

eastx Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm glad to learn that the mic can be bent, but no user would ever think to do that for fear of breaking it. It's a shame to see this issue made it to market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Chris Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yeah we understand that no one would think to bend the mic closer... :\ but moving forward we will ship voids with the mic bent in as shown in the 2nd image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaTimeJ Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Yeah we understand that no one would think to bend the mic closer... :\ but moving forward we will ship voids with the mic bent in as shown in the 2nd image. I got my void yesterday, hooked it up to my machine and tested mic gain and first thing I was doing was bending the mic boom. Maybe mentioning it in the manual would help, I did it just out of habit I suppose but it is working fine except that silly100% CPU windows audio bug in CoD.

Corsair Chris Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 @TeaTimeJ, yeah I'm sorry that you're running into that issue with CoD. I've reported it to our validations team and our software team, we're going to investigate it then try to resolve that along with the Win10 drivers for our older headset.

Lonepawn Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Bending mic in still has low volume. VOID YJ SE, Talking in game used to work on other headsets but no one can "really hear" me in game, on TS, or on twitch. I use windows just to test it and the signal bar goes up one bar. Mic volume up 100 through the CUE, about to search for audio graph signal boosting software. Same issue as my H2100 that i exchanged for these. I am still looking for THE headset. Any of other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erich43 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I just got the Void today and the mic is very quiet on skype and everything on the CUE and sound settings for the mic is maxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 @erich43 Did you bend the mic boom? http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=149607 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erich43 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I did and it has to be super close which I don't like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike29 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Mic volume (aka recording level) is very weak. I am very disappointed , will be returning it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entellex Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Has there been any Firmware update or something for this? Even with my mic bent, people barely hear me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inheritance Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Did yall crank up the mic sensitivity levels in CUE and check the software your using to make sure that its not adjusting the mic level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
