So I just got this gaming headset for my linux machine and the mic is very quiet. Mic volume is on max and can be heard in game if other game sound is not very loud, but it's very quiet.
The gain option in the audio panel is greyed out.
Any ideas? Short of changing a driver, I've tried everything I can think of.
Thanks.
