Hi Andy, go to the audio tab and start pressing the tab key. in the recording settings, when you tab past the mic volume setting, you should find a control labeled advance control. Hit enter on it and you should get a 20 db mic gain to check. After checking it, tab to close and then see if it improves. I have a soundblaster audigy 2 card so my settings may be slightly different from yours...
Hope that helps. Judy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andy Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 3:19 PM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Re: Microphone level too quiet. Hi Judy I am using Windows XP Home and my Sound Card is a Sigmatell Audio. I went into Sounds and Audio Devices, Properties Sheets and had a look at the properties of the Sound Recording Device. The only option I found there for adjusting the volume was was a link for Sound Recording Level, this took me to my Volume Control Sheet and everything looked fine, the mic level was at 100%. I could not see any mention of mic gain boost anywhere. Am I looking in the right place? Best wishes.
