Hey Matt101 , … I don’t have your PC hardware, so its difficult for me to know the best settings for your mic. But I did take a look at your mixer and highlight some things I do not understand. Maybe that might give you a hint as you investigate them.

I highlighted various items
green - items which appear ok
sienna - (your PCM volume) - are you certain you want PCM volume so low ?
orange - typically the capture is OFF here. I suspect most should be off. Still, is it possible you have one too many OFF ?
*] red - boost at 0%. My experience is the boots has to be 66% or higher. **

Sorry for the late reply but I was out of town. Anyway how would I get to those setting’s ?
Thanks Matt
If using KDE, then via kmix. If using Gnome, then possibly through alsamixer. Else, via amixer. Type “man amixer” to learn more about using amixer.
