Microphone array input issues

[Chiki]

When I first got my laptop/notebook I've been using the integrated/in-built mic to speak with others on various applications (Skype, Discord, etc). I'm now experiencing very low audio input even with it on 100% and a +30.00 db boost. Even increasing audio input on the third party apps(discord) has had no effect. I'm not a very techy person, so I have no idea what is going on. I've tried updating drivers and troubleshooting but nothing seems to work
