There are instances where a user needs to adjust the microphone volume and sensitivity so that audio gets amplified when doing a video or call conference. If the microphone audio volumes sound too low, first try to adjust the microphone volume up to the highest and if the volume is still too low try to adjust the microphone gain. You may want to play around with these settings until you get the right sound volume.
To access the Microphone input settings, right click on the speaker icon (1) on the bottom right side of the taskbar and select Open Sound Settings (2).
