Realtek HD Audio Manager Low Microphone Level Solution

I don’t think either, that the headset is faulty since like what you said, you bought it together with the laptop and also you already tried a different headset and still the same. I think you haven’t configured the volume of the microphone in your headset in your computer that’s why you can’t hear anything or maybe even if the other person hears something it is too weak.

Since you are using Windows 8 and I’m running Windows XP, see if you can follow this procedure on your computer on how to test and configure the sound of the microphone. First, wear the headset on your head then connect the jacks to the computer and make sure both jacks are inserted on the correct ports.

Next, press Windows logo on the keyboard then type without quotes “control” in the Run dialog box then hit Enter. This should open the Control Panel. Click “Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices” then “Sounds and Audio Devices”. Click Voice tab then hit “Test hardware”. See image.

Click Next on the next window. The computer will now check for the connected device. Wait for it to finish testing the hardware. When finished, you should see something like this. See image.

Follow the instruction on the window then click Next when done. Your next screen is similar to the previous one but the Playback is now enabled. See image.

Again, follow the instruction on the screen, click Next then Finished. After this, you are now sure that the microphone on your headset is working. You may now adjust the volume of the microphone. Go back to “Sounds and Audio Devices”, select Audio tab then click Volume under “Sound recording”. See image.

Check Select under Microphone then adjust the slider either up or down for the microphone’s volume. Just close the rest of the windows when done. See image.
