so i just ordered a ModMic 3.6 and there's a problem where once i would start talking the volume would "explode" and basically deafen everyone in mumble. Has anyone else had this issue/know how to solve it?

so i think i figured out it's a mumble thing where it tries to amp up my mic volume for some reason
right now using voice activation and does anyone know if there's a setting to prevent that random volume boost?

It's called "Max Amplification" in your Mumble preferences.

Yeah, there's essentially no way that a microphone without a built-in volume control could be at fault here. It's got to be a software issue, whether it's some weird effect as a result of sound attenuation settings or mumble settings.

If you haven't already done so, one of the core volume issues with Windows 7 is the default VOIP settings. You can check it with the following...

1. Right-click the volume (speaker icon) in the system tray.
2. Choose 'Recording Devices'.
3. Go to the 'Communications' tab.
4. Change the radio button setting to "Do nothing".

There are several weird little settings in mumble that could be causing oddities as well, but I don't have mumble in front of me right now...

just set this to "1" and apparently it still happened (it was at 40 beforehand)
