USB Mic soft on Maximus X Hero

Baddster
Level 7
Hey everyone I recently upgraded from a maximus iv gene-z/gen3 to a x hero and found my usb mic is now very soft (like 75% softer.) I was wondering if this could be USB driver related or if theres a bios option I should be using? Is it a common problem? the mic is a klim talk and i believe it is usb 2.0 any suggestions/known problems? thanks in advance

Did you by any chance upgrade to Windows 10 when you switched your motherboard? Windows 10 does have a USB volume issue with its drivers. Check out the following site which might and I stress might, provide a solution to your problem.
