REALLY crappy mic.
« on: August 31, 2004, 04:36:40 AM »
Is there any software out there to quadruple my microphone's volume?

I have to put the end of the dang thing almost up my nose and talk so that I get a barely decent sound back into AH. The mic volume in windows and AH is maxed, the boost turned on, and I have it muted in the volume contol because I don't want to hear what I'm saying coming through my speakers. Un-muting it gives it a tiny tiny tiny volume upgrade, but not enough to be worth it.

Any idea how to fix it? lol

I have, and can really recommend, the Plantronics DSP300 - digital, USB and crystal clear quality.  :)

I need a desktop one because I break headests. Seven this year.

I'll look into that USB mic.
