Hello.
I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS. The microphone volume is very low, even if i have the rec volume all the way up and microphone boost on. I know this is a very common problem but i have never seen a solution to it. Any ideas?
I've "solved" the problem by activating the onboard soundcard and use the mic on that. I still would like to know if someone have a solution to the problem though.
Those sliders were also almost on the highest value, but it did not do any difference. It is not a game-issue, it has something to do with the settings in windows. Both Dell and Creative appears to be clueless...
make sure you have latest drivers, as well as check all volume, test it outside the game, maybe use sound recorder or something. Also make sure you set the current device in the multimedia control panel.
I have done all of what you suggest but still no luck. I noticed a little improvement when i updated the drivers though. It is however nowhere near the same result i get with the onboard soundcard.
