[SOLVED] problems with adjusting volume in realtek

j1994 · 06-07-2009, 01:47 AM

for some reason I cant turn my mic volume up in realtek. I open up realtek and go to the mixer tab.then I go to mic volume and turn it up. then whatever I say in to the mic goes through my headphones. so I turn that down then put on mic boost. which helps a little but not really.I need a way to turn my mic volume up. I have even looked in windows sound. everything is turned up. I have my mic plugged in to the back of my computer because front one doesn't work. so I am guessing the tab that says front mic wouldn't help. but when I turn that one down then no volume with come out.I am so confused and tired of 20 buttons that do the same thing. anyone with any ideas please help

Could be wrong, but this problem sounds similar to another recent post. h8gambit suggested this link:

Hello and Welcome to TSF,

What jack are you plugging the mic into? in back of pc?
or what color is it?

Note: Realtek considers the mic output rather then input,
you have to mute microphone under output in your system settings.

I am plugging it into the back of the pc because the front one doesn't work. the color is pink. so how would I mute output in my system setting?

right click on the sound icon in the taskbar and go to properties

j1994 · 06-07-2009, 08:25 PM

ok I did that. I get four tabs at the top. volume,sounds,audio,voice and hardware. I am assuming you go to voice? Do I click on voice playback volume or voice recording volume.? here is a picture.

Press the advanced button under playback and you should get a box in the upper left hand screen, here is where you need to make the adjustment.

j1994 · 06-08-2009, 07:13 PM

the only thing I get is a box that says speakers and performance

Riskyone101 · 06-08-2009, 07:38 PM
