That is a side-fire microphone. You speak into the company name not the end.
It works like this.
Since you have a Windows machine, you should turn off all the Windows automatic enhancements and tools.
After that, make sure the audacity and Windows recording sliders are all the way up.
Then see if you can overload the sound channel. No, that’s not heresy. Microphones should be able to handle any sound that you can stand to listen to. Never, ever blow into a microphone.
See if you can get the Audacity bouncing sound meter to go all the way up and turn red.
Check with others in your household before you scream, but screaming is valid. Did you get the blue waves to go all the way tall and fill the space?
If you can’t overload the sound channel, then we should find if you still have the receipts for the microphone purchase.
