Sennheiser XS USB-C Lav microphone very low volume input.

I purchased Sennheiser USB-C lav microphone which cannot make it work the way I like it. The input volume is very low and I need to use another methods for db gain.

I tried all ways from settings, audio-midi gain, aggregate devices etc, etc. all is up to 100% and nothing works. Good is that I don't need this mic for online meetings, rather record my self for my podcast/video recordings.

Currently, what I am doing is recording my podcast/video save it in wav/mp3 and in audacity apply NOVA plugin to increase the volume. This is not natural at all.

Funny thing is that the mic works flawlessly on my iPhone 15 Plus and this could be the last solution which I am trying to avoid by any means- i.e. connecting my iPhone as mic. The reason is I have separate account on Mac Studio only for podcast/video production and don't want to mix it with my regular apple account.
