没有什么能像对方不断要求您大声说话或重复您所说的那样打乱虚拟会议或电话会议的流程。
通常，问题出在您的网络、WiFi连接，或者在某些情况下，是您的麦克风。
除了在 Windows 10 上录制音频(recording audio on Windows 10)成为问题之外，麦克风问题还会影响视频或语音通话的声音和质量。当您的麦克风与Skype等会议应用程序一起使用时，该问题尤其明显，有时语音质量会下降，或者在多人游戏的高辛烷值环境中进行游戏时。
无论您是想在 PC 上进行电话会议(do a conference call on your PC)，还是尝试录制系统或语音音频，我们都将向您展示如何提高Windows 10中的麦克风音量以更好地聆听他人的声音。
另外，请务必查看我们的 YouTube 频道，我们在其中发布了一段简短的视频，讨论如何在 Windows 中调整麦克风灵敏度：
在 Windows 10 中提高麦克风音量的初步检查(Preliminary Checks to Boost Microphone Volume in Windows 10)
如果其他人听不到您的声音，请在尝试以下修复之前检查以下事项：
- 检查耳机上的静音(Mute)按钮是否未激活。
- 将耳机或麦克风正确连接到 PC。
- 检查麦克风的位置是否正确。
- 检查您的耳机或麦克风是否设置为默认录音设备。您可以通过选择开始(Start )>设置( Settings )>系统( System )>声音并在( Sound)选择您的输入设备(Choose your input device)选项中选择您的麦克风来执行此操作。
- (Speak)在检查麦克风测试时对着麦克风(microphone tests)说话，以确保它正常工作。如果线从左向右移动，则麦克风正在工作，但如果不是，则您的麦克风没有拾取任何声音。
- 如果您正在进行Skype通话并且麦克风音量较低，请选择联系人(Contacts)列表右上角的更多(More )>设置( Settings)，然后在音频和视频(Audio & Video)部分 的麦克风(Microphone)下选择您的麦克风或耳机。还要检查(Check)您的首选扬声器或耳机是否已在“扬声器(Speakers)”部分下选择。
如果这些都不能提高麦克风音量，请尝试以下修复。
1.调整麦克风音量(1. Adjust Microphone Volume)
如果您或其他人在通话或虚拟会议期间听不到您的声音，以下是在Windows 10中提高麦克风音量的方法。

注意(Note)：您也可以转到“麦克风(Microphone) 属性(Properties )” > “高级( Advanced)”选项卡并取消选中“允许应用程序执行此设备的执行控制”(Allow application to take executive control of this device)选项，以防提高音量没有帮助。
如何使用控制面板调整麦克风音量(How to Use Control Panel to Adjust Microphone Volume Levels)
您还可以通过Windows 10 中的控制面板(Control Panel)提高麦克风的音量。

2. 授予应用使用麦克风的权限(2. Give Apps Permission to Use Your Microphone)
如果您刚刚更新了Windows 10并且未检测到您的麦克风，您可以让应用访问您的麦克风并检查音量是否再次正常工作。
- 要授予应用使用麦克风的权限，请选择开始(Start)>设置( Settings )>隐私( Privacy)。
- 在App Permissions(App Permissions)下选择Microphone。
- 接下来，选择更改(Change)并启用允许应用访问您的麦克风(Allow apps to access your microphone)。
- 在“选择哪些 Microsoft 应用程序可以访问您的麦克风(Choose which Microsoft apps can access your microphone)”下，选择您要授予访问权限的应用程序，然后将“允许桌面应用程序访问您的麦克风(Allow desktop apps to access your microphone)”开关设置为“开”(On)。
3. 运行 Windows 10 音频疑难解答(3. Run Windows 10 Audio Troubleshooter)
如果您的 PC 未显示“麦克风增强(Microphone Boost)”选项，您可以通过运行内置音频疑难解答程序来检查并修复任何声音问题来恢复对它的访问。
- 为此，请打开控制面板(Control Panel)并选择右上角的查看方式选项。(View by)
- 选择大图标(Large icons)。
- 接下来，找到并选择疑难解答(Troubleshooting)。
- 选择硬件和声音(Hardware and Sound)下的音频录制疑难解答(Troubleshoot audio recording)，然后检查您的麦克风增强选项是否可用。
现在您应该可以使用Microphone Boost来提高麦克风音量了。
4. 更新麦克风的音频驱动程序(4. Update Your Microphone’s Audio Drivers)
过时或不兼容的音频驱动程序可能会导致您的麦克风停止正常工作。要解决此问题，请检查并更新其音频驱动程序，然后检查音量是否恢复正常。
- 为此，请右键单击开始(Start )>设备管理器( Device Manager)。
- 选择音频输入和输出(Audio inputs and outputs)部分将其展开，然后右键单击您的麦克风并选择更新驱动程序(Update Driver)。
- 您还可以通过选择声音、视频和游戏控制器(Sound, Video and Game Controllers)部分来更新声卡的驱动程序，右键单击声卡(sound card)并选择更新驱动程序软件(Update driver software)。

How to Boost Microphone Volume in Windows 10
Nоthing disrupts the flow of a virtual meeting or conferеnce call like the other person constantlу requestіng you to speak loυder or repeat what yoυ said.
More often than not, the problem is with your network, WiFi connection, or in some cases, your microphone.
Issues with your microphone can affect the sound and quality of your video or voice calls besides making recording audio on Windows 10 a problem. The issue is particularly pronounced when using your microphone with conferencing apps like Skype where sometimes the quality of voice sinks, or when gaming within the high octane context of a multiplayer game.
Whether you want to do a conference call on your PC, or you’re trying to record system or voice audio, we’ll show you how to boost the microphone volume in Windows 10 to hear others better.
Also, be sure to check out our YouTube channel where we posted a short video talking about how to adjust mic sensitivity in Windows:
Preliminary Checks to Boost Microphone Volume in Windows 10
If others can’t hear you, here are some things to check before trying the fixes that follow:
- Check that the Mute button on your headset isn’t active.

- Check that your microphone is positioned correctly.
- Check that your headset or microphone is set as the default recording device. You can do this by selecting Start > Settings > System > Sound and select your microphone in the Choose your input device option.
- Speak into the microphone while checking the microphone tests to ensure that it’s working. If the line moves from left to right, the microphone is working, but if it isn’t , then your mic isn’t picking up any sound.
- If you’re on a Skype call and the microphone volume levels are low, select More > Settings in the top right corner of the Contacts list and select your microphone or headset under Microphone in the Audio & Video section. Check also that your preferred speaker or headset is selected under the Speakers section.
If none of those work to boost microphone volume, try the fixes below.

- Switch to the Levels tab under Microphone Properties and adjust the boost level, which by default is set at 0.0dB. You can use the slider to adjust up to +40 dB and check whether the person you’re communicating with can hear you clearly and that the volume level is appropriate.

- To do this, open the Control Panel and select the View by option at the upper right side.
- Select Large icons.
