Hello again,

I've upgraded my laptop (I now have a V3817AU) and I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium. I installed Adobe Audition 1.5 as usual and got it all setup fine. The soundcard on this machine is a "Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221".

However, when I plug in my microphone and go to record something, the audio is EXTREMELY quiet, and if I bump up the levels in Adobe Audition, it's surrounded by a LOT of hiss (which didn't happen with the last laptop). I don't mind increasing the levels of the audio, it's the hiss I have the problem with.

Looking around the web, this seems to be a widespread issue with this particular laptop. I'm hesitant to take it back (I quite like it), so is there any way I can increase the microphone gain in Adobe Audition? The volume slider in Windows is at 100, so I don't think I can increase much there.

I've tried removing/readding the drivers, but nothing changed.

Anyone managed to solve this one already?

Thanks :)
