Explanation very needed here I think.
I was fiddling around with my headset trying to get my microphones audio up because it records everything far too quiet. I kept trying around, googling solutions but nothing.
Then I thought I'll just look for a program that can help me, surely there is something that can simply enhance your mics audio... well, nope, half an hour later and completely frustrated I just went "SCREW THIS"...
Well not all is bad as this picture idea popped out of it as well.
Done as a little experimental spontaneous live stream to test out some settings. And, to make that crappy headset expedience better, I actually got a stable and good quality stream done on my usually quite crappy Sat connection.
Which means I can use that as an alternative now, at least at night in my area since the speed picks up enough at that time.
So, got a pic done and a good WORKING experiment with streaming, that's ending the day on a high note.
Also you get a little peek at my hardware setup here, it's not fully accurate though, that armchair for example isn't entirely held together by ductape in the picture
Now if you excuse me, that lawn isn't eating itself, moo.
PS: If anyone DOES know a good FREEWARE that lets me boost mic audio directly like for gaming please shoot me a PM ^..^
PPS: In regards to changing the settings, check Phoex's comment and my reply, I tried that already sadly

I know your microphone problem; it's isn't a software issue, it's some sort of incompetent Chinese manufacturing SNAFU. I had the same trouble a few years ago, and there's isn't much info out there about it so I had to figure it out for myself. IIRC, a mono mini plug shorts to ground when plugged into a stereo mini jack, resulting in the loss of most of your signal. Since a microphone only provides a mono signal it makes sense for a mic to have a mono plug. Computers, on the other hand, are built with stereo jacks. It would therefore make sense for computer mics to use stereo plugs, but the problem is: China.
Check the plug on your mic. If there are two bands of metal, then you need to find one that has three or find a female mono to male stereo adapter. If there are three bands, then I am talking out of my ass. Either way, you can to get around the issue by using a USB microphone instead.

Weird. I was going to suggest using a super-cheap USB mic to check whether the issue is with the headset or the computer, but since you stream I guess you already know the score there. Maybe you should contact Logitech tech support; big companies don't generally make hardware that requires extensive research to bodge into a working condition using third party software. Wish I could've been more help to you than this.
I'm using OBS but the issue wasn't on my streaming audio as I don't really use my mic while streaming (I don't really have much to say anyways )
I use an USB adapter but I also tried attaching it to the audio jacks directly, but for both the mic boost option doesn't appear in the settings.

If it was anything like the one I have I would suggest re-soldering all of the connections, throwing it across the room, stomping on it until it's imprinted into the concrete, and microwaving it for 30 minutes, but I think your mic might be a slightly higher quality than my own.
If all else fails, you can get a 99 cent mic and they work pretty well if you tweak the equalizer a little. If it doesn't work, try re-soldering everything and check for broken connections in the wire. If it starts to pick up radio broadcasts, then your wiring needs a little more insulation. And when in doubt, a sledgehammer is great for percussive maintenance.
Seriously, though. it might be a bad wire or an incorrectly soldered joint. If you have a soldering iron and feel comfortable with voiding your warranty, it's fairly easy to fix that.
