    Hi guys,

    I'm super desperate here. I started to get into audio and recording stuff. For the beginning I started to buy myself a USB condensate microphone (Beyerdynamic FOX).

    Using this microphone with my Windows 10 system is simple plug and play thanks to USB. Although, recently I started to use mainly elementary OS and would like to stick with it.

    Basically the main problem is the input volume, which is super low!

    Attached a screenshot where I was basically shouting into the microphone from about 1cm distance.

    What I tried so far was, doing some weird settings in pavucontrol. Followed many other advices to adjust alsamixer. Without success.

    I noticed, in alsamixer pressing F6 the FOX card is selectable but nothing is configurable. "This sound device does not have any controls"

    Below you will find some outputs which might or might not be helpful ...

    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Cheers!
