While using Maono Au-A04 Condenser microphone on Audacity 3.03, the recording somehow is limted to-12db. if I increase the recording volume, the limit increases but so does the volume and it is always distorted. This does not happen with my CAD u37 USB condenser microphone.
I was unable to find any setting that can increase the amplitude. Please help
(b) the Windows Audio Control Panel: From the Windows search bar, run “mmsys.cpl”, then Recording > “your microphone” > Properties > Adanced > Default Rate
If only one of your USB microphones does it, I think you’re talking yourself into a broken microphone.
A “normal” broken microphone may clip and distort at -6dB. That’s half or double. That’s easy to explain by, for example, a stereo/mono conversion gone wrong.
-12dB is most unusual. I’m not sure I can easily imagine what could cause an error like that.
Before you send it back, try it out on a different computer. I bet it’s weird-broken there, too.
If you move the slider up, how high will the level go? Can you get it to go up to 0 dB? (Don’t play the recording - it will be very loud and horrible - I’m just interested in how high it will go).

It can get up to 0 db. But the recording quality becomes terrible
I checked this earlier, but no, the problem is different here.
I think there is a gain limit inbuild in the microphone. So I will need to replace the microphone.
