Pulseaudio sound input very low

I'm trying to use my earphone's microphone to record audio, but it doesn't seem to take in my voice properly, and there's also a lot of background noise. I've tried to do this in Linux Mint, and it somehow works. The microphone doesn't pick up so much disturbance because I can record on my phone quite clearly.

I'm not sure what logs I need to provide, so please ask for anything you need. Thank you

Re: Pulseaudio sound input very low

I don't often recommend GUI applications, but you might want to install and play with pavucontrol.  It does a nice job of presenting the audio controls available on your system in a discoverable interface and allows you to quickly experiment with those settings.   That and alsamixer should allow you to find your microphone and recording controls

Sorry, I should have mentioned. I've maxed out the input source from pavucontrol. Still it's not taking in audio properly

Re: Pulseaudio sound input very low

How about the microphone controls in alsamixer?  You may have to change your "card" from pulseaudio to your PCM device.
