I have a P4C800 Deluxe with onboard soundcard. Im using the soundmax audio
software that came with the mobo. i have my mic plugged in properly and the
volume all the way up and it is not muted but it barely picks up ANYTHING! i
have to scream to hear my voice. im wondering what the problem is? its not
my mic bc it works fine on my other computers. ive heard of similar problems
with this soundmax thing. can anyone help me? TIA.
 
do you have "microphone boost" enabled ?
for me that made the mic work perfectly, access the feature by going to the
advanced controls of the mic ( button next to the slide that adjust
mic-volume)

I have seen many postings about micrphone problems with ASUS boards.
What I found out was that ASUS uses a stereo input jack on the
microphone, at least on my board. So if you connect just one mike to it,
it doesn't connect properly.

To connect one mike, what is needed is a stereo to mono adapter
available at any Radio Shack. Or get a Y cable and connect two mikes,
one each, to the left and right channel.

Hope this helps.
