I recently bought a Scarlett Solo Gen 3 as well and the Rode PodMic. I noticed it was still pretty quiet as well. I ended up using Voicemeter Potato and increased the gain in the software rather then having my gain almost near 100% on my Scarlett. I haven't really noticed any drawbacks from that as far as I can tell. I followed this guy's guide below on how it all works. He also explains some things on how to control what audio you send and don't send to streams if you do that. Or you could also buy something like the Cloudlifter, but those are pretty expensive.

Umm, you don't have to print return labels anymore?
Take your return to a UPS store, they scan the QR code you get off your Amazon account, and they say thanks. No box needed, or anything.
And if you'll trust the people here, why won't you trust any of the dozens of review sites that I'm sure have reviewed it, or hell, even the reviews on the product itself?

The label thing was a joke.
and I’d rather talk to people here because I can have an actual dialog and ask questions and discuss it instead of reading random people’s words whoI know actually know about tech and sound equipment instead oF some rando who may not but is trying to sound like he does.

Check your speakers, they might be expired and you have to throw them out:
Sonos boss apologises for software update plan
The boss of Sonos apologised on Thursday for a decision to prevent older speakers from receiving software updates.
In a statement, the company's chief executive Patrick Spence said the company would deliver updates to all products "for as long as possible".
But the company did not retract its earlier decision.
The plan has sparked outrage with customers since it was announced earlier this week.
Some Sonos customers who spent thousands of pounds on their products voiced their anger on social media. They attacked the company claiming it was trying to force them to invest in new products.
In a letter posted on the company's website, Mr Spence said the company "did not get [the announcement] right from the start."
"Many of you have invested heavily in your Sonos systems, and we intend to honour that investment for as long as possible," wrote Mr Spence.
Sonos said it will still offer fixes for bugs and security patches for older products. But the plan needed to be put in place because older hardware would not be able to support the new software.
Owners who have systems that include both older and newer Sonos speakers will have to be set up two speaker groups to allow the correct updates to come through. Once a single speaker in a system can no longer receive new software it prevents the rest of the system from receiving updates.
Without updates, these devices will eventually stop working.
The change affects four models sold between 2006 and 2015, including the Play:5, Connect:Amp and Connect.
Affected Sonos customers are being offered a 30% discount towards a new product if they recycle their old speakers.

And the rub there is that new sonos hardware isn't of the same quality as old hardware. Fuck them , they realized making shit that lasts forever doesn't make as much money as a company like Apple who forces customers to re-invest every 2-3 years.
