Hi there, my microphone is blisteringly loud on both TS3 and TS5 - both of which have no obvious input volume control under the capture settings. It seems to be an automatic gain control-like setting as all other applications are fine, and if I hold down my PTT and make very quiet noises the volume just constantly gets louder and never reduces.
I have tried fresh installs of both TS3 and 5, and still no options or way to lower the volume of my microphone. I could change it via my windows settings however then I become very quiet in other applications such as discord - so that is not a viable fix either.
Issue also persists on a different microphone
hey man, its been a while since this got posted but I seemingly ran into this error myself today and cant seem to find a fix. On discord and anywhere else its fine, only on teamspeak my mic is incredibly loud
Do you have your input volume also decreased in other programs or is it set to 100%?

I have it set to 80%. Apparently I have some different error tho. When I talk too loud, or make too loud of a noise my mic starts crackling, but it does that only in teamspeak AND when I have “automatically use best mode” instead of “direct sound” enabled. With direct sound enabled my mic apparently sounds worse tho, and what I dont understand is, that this only appeared after I got my new headset (which is the same one I had before, but my old one broke). I honestly am a bit lost here.
In this case I would guess that your microphone is just clipping at some point. Maybe they had a revision at some point in production and the microphone now is different / has changed.
I would suggest lowering the volume in Windows and increasing it then in the other programs to 100%

I thought so aswell, I lowered it to 30% in windows now and in ts i went down on my volume gate level and now it seems to work better. Still weird tho but thanks for the fast help
