So, sound peoples who are better at audio than me. Whether it's recordings or streaming or any other audio I attempt to capture, it's coming out incredibly, incredibly quiet, to a point where I have to max out my media player volume to get any reasonable idea of what's happening in the recording. I have messed with volumes in sndvol.exe as well as ctrl+win+v, with very little luck. It seems like a problem with my setup specifically, as people with their volumes set lower than mine are getting much louder outputs. Is there anything else I can try to bump the volume up on recordings without making things unbearable to listen to on my side? I have a pretty loud pair of headphones so maxing out volumes on anything is not an option, and I currently can't get any new external solutions to alter this at the time, so would prefer a software fix if at all possible. It's a pretty consistent problem, and occurs across all recording/streaming apps that capture audio. Boosts are very much appreciated as I wouldn't have the first idea what is going on here.

    @Kaliah@dragonscave.space Try adjusting the input level. It's under sound in control pannel. Or type mmsys.cpl into the run box and ctrl+tab to the recording page, find the input device and hit properties, then go to the levels tab.

    @Kaliah@dragonscave.space Is it on your end or on the recording where it does this?
