My logitech headset mic volume is too low

realtech hd is your sound device. go into windows control panel and access the sound settings then navigate to voice settings click the volume button,your mic might be muted. also if you want the headphones to work plug them into the plug that your speakers are using (side-note: mics and head phones never need something installed to work as long as your sound device works and your definitely does work,only when the mic is a special interface like USB do you need to install software and/or drivers)

Restart computer

try uninstalling sound card from the device manager and reboot the computer.

if the mic does not return you may be missing a driver contact your laptop manufacturer or download new sound card drivers from the websight to restore mic function.

If when you talk into your mic you hear yourself from speakers...open your volume control(windows) and check the box to mute mic. Not for sure this is a fix to your problem but from what you wrote is similar to problem seen with voice chat software.

Most headsets do not come with a volume control interface but your mic can be adjusted by going to Sound and audio devices via the control panel of your start menu. The volume can be accessed through the audio tab. Also, depending on the program you are using i.e. Skype, Team Speak or other, your volume settings can also be adjusted within that program as well. Hope this helps.

I am not sure how you know that your computer does not recognize your mic, but you can try to check your volume control settings and make sure you have your mic unmuted and at good levels.

it is due to mic problem

1. mic cable may breaked
sol. check cable

2. other wise ur pc mic supporting software is not properly added
sol. if u r using windows xp, double click the volume icon ( located on ur desktop startmenu bar) click options, properties,
recording, and check the microphone then click ok button
check and select the microphone button and increase the volume and check it
3. check sound functions, some times ur software used in voice cancelation mode change mode.

your program is probably set to use the wrong input for the mic, check your settings.
