People say your headset mic is too quiet on calls
Your microphone gain is turned down too low in your computer settings. Go to Sound settings and check the microphone input level. Drag it all the way to the right. If that doesn't work, mute and unmute the microphone in your call app.
Your headset's microphone picks up sound at whatever volume your computer is set to. If the microphone gain is turned down in settings, people can't hear you clearly. The fix is quick: check sound settings and turn up the microphone input level. You will also need to check settings inside the app you're using for calls.

- ✓Be ready to make a test call to confirm the fix
