I assume you're on a Windows machine? Have you tried a driver update? Since it's USB, your only other option is to right click on the volume icon on the lower right and go to recording devices. See what options you have and tweak from there. You might also consider going to playback devices...as sometimes there are options for your mic on your headset there that you can also tweak.
