Microphone recording too low

[Guest]

I dont know what is wrong but whenever I record something with my microphone,
it records too low. When I play back the audio, it will sound like the volume
is turned down very low. I do know that the recording volume on the
microphone is turned up to 100 via the control panel, microphone properties
and levels. So thats the problem, even though the volume is turned up to max,
it still records much too low. All I am doing is recording simple voice
files. I am using windows vista 64 home premium, I never had this problem
with windows XP and if I use XP and record the same way, it will be much
louder in XP. Anyone know what is wrong here?

I am having the same problem, the microphone volume is maxed and the boost is
at +20 dB. I still have to practically scream at the microphone to get the
configuration to regester out of the red. Tried 3 different microphones 2 of
which worked prior.

1. Its plugged into the pink one labeled mic.
2. Tried both front and back connectors, exactly the same thing.
3. I looked for those settings and couldn't find them.

Got it working, had a combination of problems. Vista reported that all the
drivers and devices were working properly. I had to re-install the driver
for the sound device. Also it appers that the front pannel connector is not
working properly which is where I was hooking up the mic's most of the time.
