Hi! The other players should be able to lower your volume, you can also chec your PCs mic settings.

During records i can hear my voice that is too loud, I can't lower my mic volume on windows cause I have obs, shadowplay and other apps working fine with my mic volume right now... could you add a volume slider for our mic in game?

Yes, I've got the same setup as OP with OBS recording and all, and my microphones are working fine! However, my in-game filming are way too loud. I'm all in for adding a volume slider for our microphone in-game.

Thanks a lot, looking forward to it!

Thank you for the info, yeah something seems fishy with the audio - we're looking into it.

When audio gets loud it can be because it's doubling itself.
The audio playback on the TV, and audio from microphone (when a player is using it to speak near you) sounds the same level.

And when you playback a mic user, in the video footage, the sound will double once again to 4x.

The microphones you carry and the boom mic, seems to be amplifying the audio by like 2x... Which is too much. The base microphone input is already plenty loud, in fact quite loud for a typical game... I need to lower the voice volume by as much as 50%, maybe the voice audio is 'amplified' somehow?

In fact the mic is so strong, that when you walk around, every footstep becomes a massive thud. Recording Mic / Boom Mic makes it very hard to listen for threats in the Old World, because of all the booming and thrashing.

And if the audio is being amplified by twice the output, then if there are a lot of sound sources, the CPU usage can double or triple as well.

Having the exact same problem here.

Microphone being good in volume in any program or game but in Content warning it goes up for no reason?

Plus the voice detection is so sensitive (I believe it's just open mic) that it records the fans of my computer
If there was any fix for this, I haven't noticed it, 'cause it's still doing that for me. I have three of our recent playthrough recordings (the one you get in for review at the end of each sessions) and my voice is insanely louder than it should be.

You could perhaps try changing your mic volume in Steam and see if that helps (Open Steam Settings > Voice > Decrease the input volume).
