    Why are my headphones quiet when my microphone turns on.


    Okay, I'm having trouble being able to hear like any sound whether it is music or anything. I make music and I have my on personal mic and also have the mic that is on my laptop, when I have the headphones unplugged everything sounds fine, the music, my voice and everything sounds normal, but when I plug in headphones the bass is not there the everything is more quiet then at "1 volume". I've looked in settings, try reset permissions on google but nothing. How do I fix this?

    :)

    Hi,

    One of the possible reasons why you're unable to hear anything on your headphones' microphone might be a misconfiguration. To help you configure your headphone settings, follow the steps provided below:

    • Press Windows key.
    • Type Sound and Enter key.
    • Click on the Recording tab.
    • Right-click on the Microphone then, choose Properties.
    • Click Levels and increase microphone boost to +10 to +20 dB and try again.
