Thresher Headset not working on PC

I have the XBOX Razer Thresher headset. I also have the xbox adapter. I can hear audio fine and speak clearly on web and certain apps like discord. The problem is that on many apps through steam or just downloaded. barely pick up my mic. It is picked up, but sounds as loud as a whisper from across a room. How can I turn up the output without picking up backround noise or making it too loud on discord?
