I thought this was a sound card problem, so i went and baught a good soundcard (M-Audio Revolution 5.1) but still have the problem:
When I plug my Mic in and speak into it, it is very very silent. I have turned up all input levels to max and still i have to scream into it for anything to register at all. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. |

Is the In a preamped one? If it's a Mic In (so with a preamp) there's something wrong or badly set up, if it's a Line In you need a preamp between the mic and the In.
What mic is it? Has it a pad? If so, check it's not on.
