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. |

I just checked the website for the Revolution 5.1. You will need a microphone pre-amp to get much of any signal out of your mic before going into your computer. If it helps, Presonus makes a pretty good preamp for under a hundered bucks. I think that ART makes a preamp that sells for around 30 bucks. Microphones don't make much signal (neither do guitars, tape decks, turntables, etc) so you need to boost the signal before going to a recording device. I would almost suggest getting a small mixer to meet all of these needs if you want to stay with the particular sound card that you have chosen. Behringer makes some cheap ones (ok, but not great) & Soundcraft & Mackie make some REALLY good ones for the money (I have a Soundcraft Compact 4 that ran around a hundred bucks & has 2 good mic preamps & a turntable preamp, & a couple of balanced & unbalanced inputs & man...I love this thing). So, you either need another sound card or you need to spend a little more money on a mic pre.
