Blue Snowball ICE Blues :(

[LtGeneralStore]

Hello everyone!

I recently purchased a Blue Snowball ICE but I've been having some problems. The mic is too quiet, I've looked up all the solutions I could find but nothing works. I unplugged it from the USB port and plugged it back in, used a different port, and turned the volume up in the device settings. I saw online that for the Blue Snowball there is a switch on the back that helps with the problem but the ICE does not have that, there is a plastic panel where the switch would be. I also use Mrillis Action to record and my voice volume is at 80 while the game volume is at 20.
Does anyone know what to do that could help?

Thank you,

Have you tried looking at phantom power? That usually solves the problem universally.

What is that?

That seems odd. Did you make sure you have the right microphone selected in your recording software? Maybe try and update the driver?

what I would do is boost the gain in whatever recording software you are using. basically, you need to raise the input volume of that mic in the software. if you are using something like game capture or OBS to record gameplay you should be able to raise the input volume in that software

Search it up on google. It makes a microphone take in input louder without reducing the quality.

you can use Voicemeeter to enhance and louden your audio, also its free (but make sure you start it before you record anything and select their VAC (virtual audio cable) otherwise it wont pick up your mic at all)
