Why then even respond?
That being the case, wonder why Dell could not come up wtih not even a workaround let alone a fix -- after all these years?

Live Value Soundcard: Mic record level too low (1-29-2002)
so i contacted Dell tech support they advised me to uninstall the soundcard and reinstall it. I did that and it made no difference. They told me to uninstall the windows sound recorder and reinstall it, that made no difference either, they told me to uninstall the whole of windows multimedia I did that and it made no difference
After trying all the things Dell suggested and that Creative Labs suggested, Dell sent me out a new soundcard. Didnt make a blind bit of difference.
Well... technician came and installed new card (same type SB Live Value! 512V CT4780).... He tried uninstalling, reinstalling drivers etc.... all the same stuff I have tried before.... still no better....

Is there a fix for Dell's low mic problem? (7-16-05)
I haven't seen any fix. It's amazing how many people (including me) have this problem with Dell computers and Dell seems to be unable or unwilling to address it.

this problem has been posted on this forum for many months without any resolution.
Microphone - weak input, out of ideas... (8-29-05)
It's really sad to see this problem persist for so long without any help from Dell Support. If you search this forum, you'll see many, many posts about this. What's really pathetic is that you were sent a replacement sound card and told to reformat when Dell should know by now that it's not just YOUR card that's not performing as it should.
I am amazed (& frustrated) with the numerous "hoops" that Dell Tech Support had me jump through over 12 days without ever admitting a problem.

It does not appear at this time that a hardware fix is available.
If Bellsouth lost the case even when there was a solution, then the outcome of this microphone-soundcard case should be a forgone conclusion - because there is no solution.

Shouldn't you be saying the microphone-soundcard case is a non-winnable one?
