aight baldy is on the right way. but be carefull with the mic lvl in the control panel, coz too much will cause the mic to override. and never, NEVER use the "boost" mic option as long as u dont have a mic that needs to be powered. an other issue may be that u selected the wrong audio driver or audio source for your mic, theres direct audio and windows standart (and default ofc) try both to see if you notice any changes! to the mic level in TS: i cant really change the lvl of recording, but what u can do is to higher/lower the point where the mic starts to record (voice detection) might try that one aswell! if you need further help, were here
