Dear all, my microphone boost missing, and the audio output is way too low for online meeting.

I've tried a few ways to fix it, but it still didn't work.
1). Update the Microphone Device Driver ( and uninstall it for an older version too)
2).Use a Different Port to Connect the Microphone (and the bulid-in microphone array is the same, no boost option)
3).run the audio troubleshooter.

Please see the following pic, if there is anyway to sure the mircrophone boost please advice me. thanks.
I am using ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4i

    Good Day LYNCH#.#,

    My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 11 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.

    Here's the steps you can try

    -Go to Settings

    -Click System

    -Click Troubleshooter then Additional troubleshooter.

    -Look for Speech and run the troubleshooter.

    -Go to Control Panel

    -In Control Panel, select Large icons from the View by drop down menu.

    -Select Sound.

    -Select the Recording tab

    -Right click the Microphone and click Enable.

    -Right-click it again and select Set as Default Device.

    -Right click Microphone and click Properties.

    -Click the Levels tab, then drag the volume slider towards the largest value.

    -Click OK

    -Click Advance Tab

    -Uncheck the box to "Allow application to take exclusive control on this device"

    Restart and check the Microphone.

    If issue persists, proceed with these steps.

    -Go to Device Manager

    -Expand the Sound and Video Game Controllers

    -Look for audio driver that was installed

    -Right click and Uninstall

    Once uninstalled go to this link and download and install the driver.

    https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/n40a...

    Once downloaded and installed restart your computer and check the mic.

    I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.
