Question / Help Low Mic Volume on OBS Studio ver 0.16.2

[HybridSquirrels]

Hi All

So just trying to get to grips with OBS and all is great except my mic volume is very low.

Seen some suggestions that i should go to settings and use the booster setting to up the db's but i cannot for the life of me find the booster they are referring to, is there something I am missing? I have a Blue Snowball Mic connected via USB.
Right now I plan to use OBS to stream at least once a week but i also thought i could use it to just do my basic recording for my Youtube channel, however the volume thing is making that impossible on both counts

Also on the propriety Elgato software i have there is a feature that autodips the game volume temporarily when you speak so there is not a sound clash, does such a feature exist on OBS as well?

Any help you can give would be appreciated

Click on the cogwheel to the right of the mic volume. Select Filters. Right-click on the left window and select Gain.
Change the slider or type the value in the little box.
