Question / Help C920 Mic Issue

Hi, so I'm using a Logitech C920 Webcam to broadcast my voice instead of a mic on a headset. On Skype I'm told I can be heard perfectly fine, but when I was streaming through OBS to Twitch I could barely be heard. So I'm thinking the problem is in OBS.

Things I checked:

The Logitech software that comes with the Mic. I think the audio settings are controlled automatically, the only option I even found that seemed like an audio setting was gain, and it was set to Automatic.

Recording Devices. Everything seems fine there as well.

Any ideas?

I have a C920 as well and I haven't had any particular issue with it. Perhaps the volume level in windows itself is low? It's possible that skype is just automatically increasing the volume of the sound depending on how loud it is, though I don't know.

If needed, there's mic audio boost in audio settings, though you really shouldn't need it, I have it myself and I've never needed audio boost at all.

Hey thanks for the reply. I looked in recording devices for my webcam, checked the levels under properties and it's at 100%. I also checked in the Logitech Webcam Software under preferences/quick capture and found the Mic Input Level and raised it to 100. A few of my friends say I can be heard okay, but I've also been told I can't be. So I'm just really confused at this point because I don't know if it's me or whoever says they're having trouble.
