Hi, i have a studio mic (Behringer C1-U), but it has a very low volume.
I put the Volume on 100% on Recording Devices in Windows, but i still have to stay 1 inch far away from the mic when i speak, for my voice to be normal in the video.
I record with OBS and have the mic put on Maximum Volume, while the System Sounds is set on 10 %, so my voice is at same volume as the game sounds, when i record a game.
Do u know how can i increase my mic volume?
 
use audacity. If you don't want to record directly into audacity, then just get the audio and throw it in there later, and use amplify.

You can also use audacity for noise removal, normalization, and compression, which all help audio to sound better.

Normalize, not amplify. Amplify doesn't care if your track clips.

In my experience, Amplify won't cause it to clip if you don't change it from its initial setting. I agree that normalize is better, but he was only asking about increasing volume, and I assume if it is quiet enough that he needs to universally increase it, amplify could be an easy solution.

I'm going to bet that in this situation, his problem is driver related. USB microphones are somewhat generally having volume issues under Windows 8 that were not present under Windows 7. Anyone that has to set their recording volume to 100 in windows, AND in OBS, while setting output volume to 10% is definitely experiencing an issue that using Audacity to edit is just a bandaid.
 
I'm using Windows 10.
Is there any program that can make my Mic have a increased sound forever?
I don't wanna use Audacity everytime i record...
 
The thing I did today was get a software called "Realtek HD Audio Manager", it made my microphone gain and it removes the static too! Definitely worth a look! :)
