Hi all.
Not quite sure if this is the right place to ask so please forgive me if not.
I've Googled the question and got a few answers suggesting to change the gain internally on the mic, but am reluctant to do that without understanding more about the problem as mentioned below.
I have a UMIK-1 that shows up in Windows 10 as a -18 db version.
Work well enough with REW and registers levels as needed but, within Windows and in the Helix DSP software, even when shouting about an inch from the microphone it barely registers.
Windows shows a maximum volume of about 9 percent and I can't see anything to adjust the gain through software in the Windows environment.
This means I can't use it with the Helix DSP software in my car as I can't get the volume level loud enough to be of any use and I believe it can't be right as there are multiple speakers and around 2000W in total powering the system.
As it works in REW through WIndows on the same laptop, I am struggling to decipher what is going on.
Please can I ask if anybody has any comments or suggestions on what to do?
