I had another computer with the same make card. The same microphone is to quite when I use it with the Dell no matter what I do. The normal SBLive driver won't work with the Dell SBLive card. The 20 DB boost check box that is in the record controls of the normal SBLive driver is in the playback advanced controls of the Dell. Some one said that you could get a little amplifier to go between the mic and the computer. I know they must sell them at Radioshack but I must not know where to look. ----- Original Message ----- From: "doc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
