        Thanks @blaukon

        Yes, i tried to raise the sensitivity via UI and Terminal. Volume from arecord is still very low.

        If I replace the mic, is it direct replacement or any configuration required?

          if your recoding is still quiet, even when you’ve raised the sensitivity, it’s mostlikly your microphone :/
          I’ve bought this one https://www.amazon.de/Kinobo-Mini-Akiro-Mikrofon-Windows/dp/B00NSOWWIS
          and also one that looked like 99% the same, was cheaper, but wayyy worse in comparison.

                @blaukon hey so are you saying your mirror glass is bigger than your monitor?

                I have the issue if the mirror glass is bigger than the monitor then the edge which is not covered by the monitor it needs to be painted black or covered with a black material. This causes reflection issues on the mirror from the front I.e. you can see distorted images on the edge I.e. the image looks stretched…

                  hey, as far as I can remember, the glass is slightly bigger than the monitor and the frame is also slightly bigger than the glass, no tape was used, since you only see the monitor in the frame and not the “frame” of the 27" monitor.

                  tried to show it graphically with my old expanded notebookdisplay:

                    @blaukon I saw your pictures, and I see the text is easy to see in daylight, but in the video, it’s kinda hard to see in low light. But how is it with your own eyes in brought daylight and with low light/night?

                        I had no trouble reading the texts neither at night or day - you can easily adjust the brightness via MMM-Remote: alt text

                        @phmandl bought at glas-star.de “Pilkington Mirropane Chrome Spy 4mm (Spy4) 0.3” : 82,00 € + 70,00€ shipping (:/)
