I'm not sure if this is possible, I've been browsing for the last few hours trying to figure out why my microphone input is so low. I talk a lot with people on skype, and I have the persistent problem that people can't hear me, unless I set microphone boost to maximum, and some other boost-thing in creative's software, called smart volume.
After browsing a bit some dude suggested that maybe the microphone isn't getting enough power. That gave me the idea that maybe I can make my sound card give the mic more power? Is this possible? Or am I off my rockers?
For reference, I have a Creative Sound Blaster Z, and running Windows 7 ultimate.
As a sidequestion, why does microsoft and creative think I need 3 separate sliders, located in different places in the system, to control microphone volume?
