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

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.
Andy
