What program are you using now that has this problem? Have you looked in the settings of that program to see if you can correct the low mic volume?
Unless you use a special program for recording games, the only way to record commentary and game at the same time is to play the mic part of the headset through the headphones of the headset, then record computer playback. Recording computer playback is usually done using an input called “stereo mix” or similar, though there are other methods.
Unless you can play the headset mic directly through the headphones, which is called “hardware playthrough”, you will hear your commentary late, like an “echo”.
To see if you can enable hardware playthrough for the headset mic, right-click over the speaker icon in the System Tray and choose “Playback Devices”. Right-click anywhere inside the Playback tab and choose “Show disabled devices” then right-click again and check “Show Disconnected Devices”. If you now see a volume slider for the external microphone (the pink plug of the headset) then you can play the mic through the headset without delay.
To see if you can enable a stereo mix input, right-click over the speaker icon in the System Tray and choose “Recording Devices”. Right-click anywhere inside the Recording tab and choose “Show disabled devices” then right-click again and check “Show Disconnected Devices”. Does “Stereo Mix” or “What U hear” appear?
