The real thing you're trying to fix is how I become a more valuable member of the firm and get paid more. I don't think you need more communication from you to everyone, you should be listening to what the boss really wants and checking if you're delivering. Also communicating what salary you're expecting. Maybe you accepted the job at a salary and they thought you were happy with that.
