Mackie Pro 12v3 and Audio settings

I am live streaming to You Tube the Sunday services from St. Columba. We are having problems with the audio levels from the usb feed from the Mackie Pro 12v3.

Our old setup had a legacy Behinger Eurorack feeding a Focusrite Scarlett SiS and then into the usb port on the laptop. This setup worked fine and allowed us to adjust the input to the computer.

It was decided to upgrade the mixer that would allow us to feed the mixer directly into the laptop (i.e. eliminate the Focusrite from the setup)

I loaded the drivers for the Mackie Pro 12v3 - reconfigured both the Win10 input settings and the OBS setup to recognize the mixer. However, in order to get a reasonable level for the live stream I need to boost the setup (inside the advance audio properties in OBS) to the maximum (+15dB) to achieve anywhere near a reasonable volume on the You Tube live stream.

Any ideas how we could boost the levels? We have 4 microphones into the mixer - monitoring the level on the mixer with headphones, all seems fine. The laptop is a Dell G5 with a I7 processor and 16Gb of memory so I don't think it is a hardware issue on the computer side.

Thanks

Brendan
