Dell's Sorry History of MicrophoneSoundcard Issue Update 1218

kony

Don't you see these as the low mic volume problem?

if this mic is more than 6 or 8 inches from my mouth at normal speaking levels, it barely picks up my voice.

the mic does not pick up my voice unless I put it right up on my mouth.

I have to yell into my Dell provided microphone for anyone to hear me

I seem to be unable to record anything with a microphone from SB. Only when I shout really hard I get a fuzzy little noise recorded

I discovered that using the creative sound recorder I had to put the record level on max, select +20% gain in the mixer and put the mic 3 inches from my mouth or else it wouldnt pick up what i said.

I don't want to -eat- this microphone!!!!

I have my mic volume all the way up, the booster on, and its still way too quiet. I had to practically put the mic in my mouth.

When I plugged a mic into the front panel, the volume is so low that you have to scream.

Do you know a way to record an outgoing message without "eating" the microphone?
